Abstract

This chapter discusses why recreation design should be approached in a way to emphasise the difference between the urban and the rural or wild landscape in broad philosophical terms, adoption of ‘nature-based solutions’, use of materials (with additional aspects of sustainability, recycling, etc.), quality of experience and focus on minimal interventions in landscapes.
