MYscape – YOURscape – OURscape: exploring the relationship of landscape and democracy
Register now to be part of the Online Seminar on Landscape Democracy 2015.
The European Landscape Convention asks its signatory parties “to establish procedures for the participation of the general public, local and regional authorities, and other parties with an interest in the definition and implementation of ….landscape policies”. Thus, the floor is open for democratic landscapes. But what does this imply for the planning and designing of landscapes?
In the seminar, the course will explore this emerging topic from the following perspectives:
This seminar is addressed to anyone with interest in making landscape policy and practice more democratic. We invite students and professionals from the planning disciplines to learn jointly about this emerging professional and academic field. Neighbouring disciplines are explicitly invited to attend as the subject calls for a multi-disciplinary approach.
