This website was set up a few years back by an economist and a ecologist (retired) at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia as an exploratory venture to help us coordinate and develop our interests in urban landscapes.
We had a domain name – urbanlandscapesns.ca until recently which we gave up but the contents are retained under the URL www.versicolor.ca/urbanlandscapesns.
The website never – at least never to date – got to the point of formally presenting it simply because we have both been preoccupied with other interests, but our passion for the topic remains.
So the website will continue to serve as a place for us to post bits and pieces that we want to keep track of, and at some point we may pick it up again with more focus. Or not.
Of course we are happy if others find materials of interest here.
