The impacts that projects such as transportation and energy infrastructures may have on landscape experiences depend very much on the location, scale and visual impacts. For instance, changes to landscapes closer to population centres will affect more people, even if the landscape is not as aesthetically attractive as in a more remote location. Hence, impacts in the "everyday landscapes" in and around large population centres may be more important in welfare terms, than impacts on more "iconic" landscapes where fewer people live and experience them daily (see e.g. figure 3.1, the "landscape experience pyramid" in NCM 2015).
