Then and now

Landscape & History

Shaped by their past, today living witnesses of change: these parks and gardens show how landscapes can change in harmony with nature; how something completely new can be created through human design. Renaturalised industrial wastelands, areas of rubble restored to their former value and landscapes saved from development prove that anything is possible with commitment and sustainable concepts. Past, present and future go hand in hand here.
