Cultural Landscape Evolution

Cultural landscape evolution refers to how human activities shape and change environments over time. This includes the development of cities, agricultural areas, and infrastructure, influenced by cultural, social, and economic factors. As societies grow and adapt, they modify natural landscapes—building roads, farms, and parks, or creating art and architecture. This ongoing process reflects people's values, beliefs, and technological advances. Understanding cultural landscape evolution helps us appreciate the relationship between people and their environments, and how history, culture, and nature intertwine to create the places we live today.
