About the Centre

CPEM is an international centre for interdisciplinary research and teaching on the fostering and management of quality places that are economically , culturally and environmentally sustainable. Comprising staff with a wide range of spatial planning, geographical and surveying expertise, particular specialisms include:

  • Landscape research
  • Cultural pluralism and contested space
  • Design and regeneration
  • Rural planning and management
  • Environmental justice

It is the philosophy of the Centre that in an increasingly interconnected world roots in place remain important alongside the significance of character, distinctiveness, fairness and identity in the management of landscapes ,whether they be urban or rural. The goal of the Centre is to engage in research, consultancy and teaching of international standing and scope while responding to the spatial planning challenges and unique opportunities in Scotland and the Grampian region in particular. The success of Centre staff in pursuing this goal is manifest in the publication of a wide range of books , articles , research and consultancy reports and grants awarded.
