flatscape

This non-place could be the flatscape of a parking lot, or a suburban sprawl littered with supermarkets, parkways, little houses and garden plots.

Tractor trailers pass through the flatscape, the few people whom we do see are wearing modern clothing, a billboard advertises Coca-Cola, and some of the dogs are wearing collars, so they must live somewhere outside the barren world …

In industrial civilization, environmental variety has been replaced by what has been called "'a flatscape", lacking intentional depth and providing possibilities only for commonplace and mediocre experiences.
