  2. 1. The lenses of spatial planning and the ecosystem approach

  3. 1. The lenses of spatial planning and the ecosystem approach 2. The disintegrated development of the built and natural environment

  4. 1. The lenses of spatial planning and the ecosystem approach 3. Crossing the divide: framework, tools and applications 2. The disintegrated development of the built and natural environment

  5. 1. The lenses of spatial planning and the ecosystem approach 3. Crossing the divide: framework, tools and applications 2. The disintegrated development of the built and natural environment 4. Lessons for policy and practice

  6. The purpose.....To boldly go… • Beyond boundaries • Beyond biodiversity • Beyond planning • Beyond the status quo • Beyond OUR comfort zones

  7. Carter 2012 “The divide of ‘built’ and ‘natural’ environment, is particularly evident within the specialist focus on the ‘urban’ or the ‘rural’. It is deeply engrained in academic disciplines and professional training paths. Interdisciplinarity is much talked about but yet few truly practice it or use it to structure research, degree courses or professional qualifications. So, not surprisingly, we end up with rural specialists and urban specialists. But this artificial separation is unhelpful and affects our understanding, research, policy and practice. In reality, there are so many interdependencies and linkages that ignoring one to focus on the other only makes partial sense and only provides partial answers.” Building interdisciplinarity across the rural domain

  28. Building interdisciplinarity across the rural domain

  29. Benefits of GI network • Stimulate economic growth • Protect and enhance cultural heritage • Protect and enhance the landscape, geodiversity and the natural environment • Enhance and conserve biodiversity • Aid climate change mitigation and adaptation • Promote sustainable transport • Promote lifelong learning; volunteering • Promote health and wellbeing

  30. Concept Plans via Worcestershire GIP

  31. Concluding points for Policy and Practice • built and natural environment is part of one connected system Building interdisciplinarity across the rural domain

  32. Key Points for Policy and Practice • need to develop and use tools and methods that cross the divide rather than perpetuate it Building interdisciplinarity across the rural domain

  33. Key Points for Policy and Practice • Need inclusive partnerships across economy, society and environment • LEPS LNPS emphasize the disintegration although some progress is being made. Building interdisciplinarity across the rural domain
