Cultural Landscape

Cultural landscapes are places with layered history — influenced or shaped by our ancestor’s involvement through design and use over time, like the Great Wall of China or Stonehenge. Cultural landscapes are works of art, narratives of culture, and expressions of regional identity. In psychology, cultural landscapes are the reflection of ourselves in the cultural beliefs and practices of our society, from our origins to the modern day. It’s a way to better understand ourselves in relationship to how we modify and shape the natural world and participate in our own evolution. Also see Self-Actualization
