ABSTRACT
A place holds more than any guidebook, novel or academic treatise can tell you – for it implies many dynamic relationships between people and geography. The differences between places are amplified by time and the sedimentation of memory. Everywhere is somewhere to someone – the land, embossed by story on history on natural history, carries meaning. It is through meaning that attachment, watchfulness and rapport are forged. Our future places need culture and nature to intertwine so well that there is room for both and richness in each.
