This article surveys plans that envisioned new leisure uses for derelict landscapes in Britain from about 1966 to 1979. These plans were an attempt to transform areas of Britain in ways that cut across issues ranging from deindustrialization to planning, landscape, environmentalism, industrial heritage, and leisure. The author argues for the importance of the profession of landscape architects in setting the agenda for tackling industrial dereliction. It then shows these issues playing out in three locations: in the Lea Valley, in Stoke-on-Trent, and in Telford New Town. Derelict landscapes were a visual manifestation of the various crises that continue to structure historians’ accounts of the 1970s, but the author shows how the response to the issue was characterized by an almost utopian optimism that these problems could be resolved in a way that would stimulate new forms of living.

本文调查了 1966 年至 1979 年间为英国废弃景观设想新休闲用途的计划。这些计划试图以跨越非工业化、规划、景观、环境保护、工业遗产等问题的方式改造英国地区。闲暇。作者论证了景观设计师职业在制定解决工业失职问题议程中的重要性。然后，它显示了这些问题在三个地点发生的情况：利谷、特伦特河畔斯托克和特尔福德新城。废弃的景观是各种危机的视觉表现，这些危机继续构成历史学家对 20 世纪 70 年代的描述，但作者展示了对这一问题的反应是如何以一种近乎乌托邦式的乐观主义为特征的，即这些问题可以通过一种刺激的方式得到解决。新的生活方式。
