Catch up- Social Landscape Definition and Progress

Alright so I know we've had a class explaining what we think "social landscape narrative" means, but I interpreted it as it means something different to everyone. I still don't have a solid grasp on the concept and I'm not sure if it's because I'm dumb or because it's just a really broad subject (hopefully the latter is the case).
When Julee told us to come up with our own definition of it I kind of guess it was anything affected that told a story. Kind of like documentary photography, street photography or photography which you see an underlying meaning. Basically I gathered that it's not formal portraits or anything staged.
For my project I'm waiting to hear back from a jail in Manchester on their policies on photographing. But, with the time constraints I don't think that seems plausible. My back up plan is to expand on what I love, old buildings, anything abandoned or neglected. I think this would be cool if I did a variation of close up, abstract images and also zoomed out images.
