Jersey environment

In duo we each had a theme that represented the concept of Island identity. In my my duo we got the theme of Jersey’s environment. We learned: The character of the island countryside has been fairly well protected since the introduction of the planning legistation, 1964 dispite the large population growth. The natural environement is part of Jersey’s distinctive character.However the built environement can be remarkable cultural, social and economic resources, vitallyimportant for people’s identity and well-being. The board wanted to see distinctive Jersey architectural themes better preserved and new developments better harmonising with their historical and natural environment. They wanted to see more trees in public spaces, and better celebration of Jersey’s French heritage in the noming of buildings and streets.
