| Summary: |
In the summer of 2008 the organisers of the international event
A Wider View will put the European cultural landscape on the agenda.
Within the framework of the Apeldoorn
International Triennale, which takes place for the first time
in 2008, A Wider View will situate nationally and internationally
recognised cultural landscapes of undisputed historical significance
in a dynamic perspective, and place them within the context of spatial
planning and design. A conference, debates, exhibitions and university
courses will address the key questions of how centuries-old as well
as recently evolved European cultural landscapes can remain living
landscapes, how problems brought about by such factors as climate
change, urbanisation, agricultural policies, tourism and depopulation
can be solved, and how spatial opportunities can be turned into an
opportunity for the future.
A Wider View will allow for an examination of and confrontation
between the various institutional points of view and methods, scientific
insights and professional experience in the field of landscape preservation
and landscape development.
In particular, the event will draw the attention of an international
audience to the Belvedere
Strategy, initiated by the Dutch government in 1999, which concentrates
on the creation and implementation of unifying concepts between
cultural heritage management and spatial transformation at the village,
district, city and regional levels.
