Conference Proceedings
LIVING LANDSCAPES /
LANDSCAPES FOR LIVING
Policies, Practices, Images
University of Florence,
February - June 2012

Living Landscapes is the title of a series of seminars aimed at creating a scientific arena for arguing on contemporary research’s challenges related to landscapes as places to live-in, produced by living alongside planning practices. 

Current global and local forces are reshaping physical and social urban and regional landscapes, and the relationship between their own defining features. There is evidence that over the past decades a far-reaching change has been taking place in the very nature of the urbanization processes along with the landscapes shapes.
It might be defined as a shift from a metropolitan mode of urban development to a post-metropolitan era. It opens up a new discourse on the ongoing planning challenges such as policies to manage the emerging issues on climate change and resilience; strategies to address a new approach on landscape planning that takes into account “beauty” in itself and “ordinary beauty” as a result of the everyday life practices; tools to include the “diversity” in the urban policy making, etc.
 

The collection of papers presented in the following pages intends to provide a path for analysis and figuring out that might contribute both to the planning theory’s debate on landscape and to practices’ domain as well. 

Basically all of the contributions and suggestions brought together in this anthology suggest a plural and cross-cutting concept of landscape and build up on the traditional theories. They include different meanings of landscape(s) and propose diverse planning perspectives. They give a picture of the contemporary research efforts of young and senior researchers on landscapes for living.
