| Summary |
"Heal the scar offers an insightful investigation and visionary concepts for the re-purposing and regeneration of exhausted quarry and mine sites. Commencing with framing the global problem of a rapidly expanding non-renewable resource extraction industry to supply the cheap resource needs for a rapidly urbanised world, chapters progress to explore alternative solutions towards more sustainable and environmentally focused options that address the negative legacy and impacts upon the lands and waters that these mine sites leave behind. This book seeks to discuss current issues relating to these scars in the landscape, the closed, rehabilitated and/or abandoned mines sites; especially those sites that are next to human settlements. So how can these sites be transformed from highly environmental impacted and damaged landscapes to sustainable and regenerative places that respect and engage with their environments and their surrounding communities. The research team and contrubing authors attempt to provide insights to help answer one important question - What can we do to solve this problem?" -- back cover |
