Escher's legacy in the Linth plain

The Linth plain - which has always been a transit country - is now crossed by motorways, railway lines and power lines. The linear canal system corresponds to a geometrically hard division into cultural and building land and nature reserves. Historically, this region has never grown together: today it is intersected by three cantonal and many municipal boundaries. Farmers want land for production, municipalities are courting new companies, families are building their single-family homes, and many are seeking recreation in the open countryside. The Linth plain has - if you like - a symbolic character for Switzerland. The question arises: How to go on? This book aims to raise awareness of today's pressing problems of an increasingly sprawling landscape and a society that wants nature but does nothing about it.
