As individuals and members of groups, we are immersed in uncertainty, which has become the dominant force in our lives. We are reduced to waiting for the news, good or bad, knowing that the future is marred by shadows, or worse. From one day to the next, precipices can open up beneath our feet. From a geographer’s point of view, the challenge is to live differently, which means thinking about property, its history and effects, the artificialisation of land and the issues it conceals, or even what structures our relationship to space and time within a city, for example. There are many experiments in this area, including towns in transition and alternative eco-places. This text therefore addresses both the environment and the way in which it can be understood as a continuum and a sum of interdependencies, as well as the way in which environmental aesthetics responds to these issues.
