Three common areas stood out in the content of our assigned articles: Experst, Place Making and Resource Accessibility
Resource Accessibility is a nexus for a variety of themes represented in landscape democracy issues. This aspect is important for stakeholders, as it encompasses both the physical and the abstract. In the case of the abstract, access to expert knowledge is limited and controlled by the elite, as with the city surplus. Imbalances to both the physical and metaphysical can be addressed through policy formation, which guarantees access to all stakeholders, no matter the power dynamic of a community. In the case of tangible resources, municipal programs can activate urban activity in post-industrial landscapes, through the use of obsolete industrial spaces. Where community programs and policy fail, stakeholders will reappropriate space for habitation - through squats, and food security - through illegal grazing of animals and gardening/farming on federal lands.
Place Making is a multi-faceted approach to the planning, design and management of public spaces. Place Making capitalizes on a local community's assets, inspiration, and potential, with the intention of creating public spaces that promote people's health, happiness, and well being. Landscape plays an important role in the design process. The term encourages disciplines involved in designing the built environment to work together in pursuit of qualities that they each alone are unable to achieve.
Experts are the ‘outsider’ stakeholders in the design process. They come with field-specific knowledge and advice on topics which could be out of reach/understanding of primary stakeholders (residents or community). The data and information that experts are equipped with help to bring a wider vision, Geographers, landscape architects, planners and botanists would be essentially a part of this team. Their involvement in the earlier stages is very vital as it would help in steering the direction of conversation. But their involvement in the beginning can help in informing the primary stakeholders about aspects of the project. In the mid-way stage they could assist or show potential future scenarios considering if things went ahead in the said direction.
