Towards multifunctionality: adaptation beyond the nature–society dichotomy | Energy Transition in Europe | www.energy-cities.eu | Scoop.it

The framing of nature as separate from culture impacts our notion of landscapes and the functions, infrastructures and activities deemed appropriate within these, where natural landscapes are associated with nature conservation, and the built environment with human activity. In this paper, we propose bridging this nature–society dichotomy through a multifunctional perspective as a way to adopt a more systemic view of space in relation to landscape traits as well as material artefacts.
