Projects
Much of the new appreciation of the landscape that has spread in recent years in common feeling has been stimulated and elaborated within programmes, plans and interventions designed for the public interest. In those sites, a new type of land governance is taking shape, less subjugated to economic laws and more linked to culture, a sense of identity and common heritage.
Here we try to gather those strategic documents for the parties that reveal innovative visions, that induce long-lasting virtuous effects, changes in everyday behaviour for the enhancement of the common heritage.
In theoretical terms, the topic of the project in the landscape is addressed in ‘The third view of the landscape project’.
