GLOSSARY
Built environment
The Australia State of the Environment 2011 report describes the built environment as 'the human-made surroundings where people gather to live, work, and play. It encompasses both the physical structures where people do these activities and the infrastructures, such as transport, water, and energy networks. The built environment is a material, spatial and cultural product of human labour and imagination.' (State of the Environment 2011 Committee, 2011)
