This is the first bridge made of iron in 1779  in the historic Ironbridge Gorge - sometimes called the birthplace of the industrial revolution.  The gorge itself was formed by a glacial overflow from the draining away of  lake at the end of the last ice age. This resulted in deposits of coal, iron ore, limestone and fireclay being exposed, which enabled the rapid economic development of the area during the early Industrial Revolution. A good example of a generation one industrial landscape.  Such industry is no longer a feature of this area - there are modern industrial estates nearby and even the local coal powered power station has been closed down - although the world famous Merrythought teddy bear factory still exists. The area is a World Heritage site and many local jobs rely on the tourist industry. Most inhabitants work outside the gorge.  Transition Town Telford is redeveloping a small permaculture garden in the gorge and also holds an annual gardening event - sharing skills to encourage people to grow their own food.

We staan op een kantelpunt. In Groningen moeten steeds meer huizen worden gestut als gevolg van de aardbevingen. De gaskraan wordt daarom langzaam dichtgedraaid en we moeten op zoek naar nieuwe bronnen. Het is niet de eerste keer dat we zo'n grote verandering meemaken.

Efficiency of wind turbines increases with their height. Energy companies want to build turbines on-shore >180m to have a positive business case. With the height the visual impact on the environment increases.

Often new initiatives for wind farms are questioned or by local residents.

Here the PV panels are not visually integrated with the roof , they look stuck on because  they are of an alien material compared to the roof tiles. This is not a technical or a spatial problem, but an architectural one.

Britain produced 2.4Gwatt of solar power from residential roofs in 2014. Most of these panels are stuck on traditional looking roofs of tile or slate. The example here is an attempt to integrate the panels into the roofscape, and it looks better than the standard solutions which look stuck on and out of character with the local architecture.

In early times The Netherlands was covered with woods. After using this woods for heating and building, we extracted turf or peat in many regions. Many lakes we nowadays use for for example waterrecreation are remains of this turf or peat extraction. Like the 'loosdrechtse plassen' on this card

As in the Netherlands, windmills have become tourist attractions and do not serve the purpose for which they were created.

However, as they have a beautiful architecture and a beautiful harmony with the landscape, they have become tourist places.

The development of the new energies, especially wind and solar, have carried out major changes in the landscape.The implementation and spectacular development of this new type of energies has originated to a landscape change in many areas of the Iberian peninsula. The Agricultural areas of the peninsula have changed their function, some combine the Energy with agriculture creating "agroenergy" landscapes, others have changed totally their function becoming totally energetic, in this case they are created "energy landscapes", another place where you can establish the energies renewable areas are in wooded areas, in this case spaces are formed "Silvoenergéticos".

The current agglomeration of spaces dedicated to renewable energy, mainly in rural areas, since the factors areas invite more to this location than to a location in urban areas.

The power of the Blue Economy is that is injects money back into the local economy, and contrary to traditional belief, it offers high quality products at a lower cost price. The healthy mushrooms before beyond reach of the majority of the consumers are now available fresh and abundantly requiring much less transportation. When the global supply chain of food implies that up to 90 percent of all the value added generated in the supermarkets is spent on transportation, now hardly any transportation is required, costs are reduced, margins are improved and prices to the consumer are lowered.
