A blunt scape

Hi, I was listening to the BBC Radio 4 Programme "Something Understood" the other day and a phrase "a blunt scape" cached my attention. I'm not sure whether I spelled it correctly. I heard it somewhere else later but I couldn't really translate it. Could you please correct me if my spelling of the phrase is wrong, and explain its meaning? I also wrote a piece from the programme below so that you can see the context.

I saw different forms of landscape whose beauty was inspiring but I didn't know what I was looking at. This ignorance of the natural world is not uncommon says the writer Robert McFarlane: "The terrain beyond the city fringe has become progressively more known in terms of larger generic units: field, hill, valley, wood, it has become a blunt scape."
