B 2.4 Flows and externalities Empty B 2.4 Flows and externalities

"The existence of this multiplicity of flows creates many problems: in the natural field, there are zones where polluted water concentrate, leeward zones with acid rains, areas with inversion of temperatures during anticyclonic situations, etc.; in the social field, there are conflicts fueled by the negative externalities generated by many land uses (cattle devastating the nearby fields in rural areas; nuisance linked to noise and unpleasant smell in urban areas).
A part of these positive and negative externalities have a visual cause. In rural areas, field systems with long and narrow strips generated a rhythmic harmony in the landscape; consolidation of land property destroys it. In an urban setting, a new high rise building is enough to change the look of a neighborhood of low houses, etc.
These externalities lead to limitations in the rights which give owners the possibility to use their land plots according to their will: zoning regulations control the negative effects of some of their activities."

(This is an excerpt from the text by Professor Paul Claval “THE IDEA OF LANDSCAPE”)
