Summary:In this chapter I focus on the potential of regenerative socio-cultural capital in the memorializing landscape. Using scholarship on Confederate monuments in the U.S. South, I explain how memorializing in the cultural landscape is an act of power, and monuments continue to perform that power to produce understandings of the past with real consequences for the present and future. Drawing from work concerning impact assessments, I suggest that dynamic landscape impact assessment plans offer an approach for evaluating proposed and existing memorialization in the landscape that reflects a regenerative paradigm. In this regenerative approach, social impacts, human rights, participation from a diverse public, and rethinking memorialization as procedural and iterative are central.
