Modelling Place-making to Enable the Transformation of Spaces into Places

Unprecedented urbanization is threatening landscape diversity, bringing along new social and environmental problems thus calling for an active and creative landscape shaping process. The ERC-project GLOBESCAPE of Adrienne Grêt-Regamey will generate novel insights into how people add value and meaning to place by using physiological measurements to inform models of socio-ecological systems and linking them to landscape design. The resulting methods and tools will ultimately support humans to intentionally transform peri-urban landscapes.
