Mediating the Environment: Communicating, Appropriating, and Developing Graphic Representations of Place1

ABSTRACT

This volume is driven by the proposition that development takes place in context, and therefore that we will never truly understand development if we ignore the environment. In this chapter, we accept, extend, and reinterpret this proposition by beginning with a literal reading of the phrase, “takes place in context.”
