The Cultural Economy of Landscape and prospects for peripheral development in the twenty-first century: the case of the English Lake District

A study reveals that the cultural economy of landscape, particularly in UNESCO World Heritage Sites like the English Lake District, plays a pivotal role in peripheral development. It demonstrates how the unique natural beauty and cultural heritage of such regions can drive economic growth, even in less central areas. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data analysis with qualitative case studies to assess the impact of landscape-based cultural economies on local development prospects. This work highlights the potential for sustainable peripheral development through strategic leveraging of cultural assets, offering valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders.
