The subject I have chosen to study for the next 4 years relates to the inclusion of public perception within the analysis of the urban fringe landscape, this is mirrored in my case study Over the subsequent 10 years I have studied and worked as a landscape architect and landscape planner, focusing on landscape analysis and trying to understand the multi faceted entity that is landscape and the meanings and values attached to ‘landscape’
