Cultural Sustainability And Regional Development: Theories And Practices Of Territorialisation (Routledge Studies In Culture And Sustainable Development) - 9781138830080

Launching the concept of 'territorialisation', this book explores how the natural environment and culture are constitutive of each other. The concept of territorialisation allows us to study the characterisation of the natural assets of a place; the means by which the natural environment and culture interact; and how communities assign meaning to local assets, add functions and ascribe rules of how to use space. Territorialisation helps frame the concept of sustainable regional development and to grasp the role and meaning of culture in sustainable regional development because it highlights the time-space dimension in the use and consumption of resources.
