About this Item

On the basis of examples from the UK, France, Portugal, USA and other world regions, these conference proceedings demonstrate the unique opportunities for landscape revival in former mining areas. Where else is it possible to redesign a landscape from the roots: from remodel to future usage? The concept of 'new land', its design, management and community value are among the many related themes discussed in this comprehensive survey.

About this title

Synopsis

What other post-industrial landscape affords the possibility of being so completely overhauled, from its very soil mix to the edifices erected upon it? In 2009, the IBA conference "Opportunity: Post-Mining Landscapes" addressed these and related themes. Examining former mining sites in Europe, the U.S., Chile, South Africa and China, the proceedings of this conference demonstrate the fertile opportunities of these landscapes.
