Land Use Scales and Systems Questions

In response to

META: What forms of land tenure, management, & use are imagined or desired for the future? What discourses dominate (or challenge) how land use is conceptualized? What discursive histories are used to articulate contemporary desires for certain uses?

I think the public imagination hasn't arrived at this juncture yet. Priority=removal of hazardous waste. Some academics are imagining futures (the landscape architecture students and professors at Washington University for example). Discursive histories in use= culture of nature. Wildlife preserves on land unfit for habitation.
