Spatial Planning -
retrospect, vision, outlook

For the most part, changes in settlement and environment take place one small step at a time. These come about according to an undefined timetable. What we perceive and experience today as our built environment and surrounding landscape was, in a large part, created years, decades or even centuries ago. And what we build now and in the near future will ultimately become a part of our living space and our legacy. Thus, through our actions, we bear a responsibility to ourselves and to future generations.
