ABSTRACT

In this book, we sought to provide some clarity regarding the role of the landscape in supporting the well-being of individuals and whether it is possible to define or, at least, provide a fuller understanding of the landscape associations that engender high levels of well-being. In this final chapter we review and summarise key aspects of the individual explorations and discussions contained in the earlier chapters. At various points we have attempted to summarise the key elements which impact upon well-being, positively and negatively, or identify the deficiencies of urban landscapes, presenting them as key points which use or paraphrase the terminology used by the authors of the chapters. To understand the full context of these the reader should, of course, refer to the original chapters and their specific source material.
