Multilayered Ecological Site Analysis

Ian McHarg

Use overlays of ecological data for informed decision-making in planning and development.

Context

Complex sites where environmental impact assessments are crucial.

Problem

Single-layer analysis often misses the interconnected effects of development, leading to unforeseen environmental damage.

Solution

Create overlays of pertinent ecological data (like hydrology, soil, and species distribution) to inform developmental decisions.
