The European Landscape is under stress of changing land use and a
changing attitude of its users. Globalization, the disappearance of
the iron curtain and the recent EU enlargement to 25 countries have
changed the economic and environmental dimensions of Europe. Europe
is changing its face from a western and eastern part to one
European Union and to fast connections between its centres of
activity. The rural and cultural heritage of Europe has to be
adapted to cope with this change. However, its landscape is worth
to be conserved as well, because it represents the European history
in the same way as castles and churches. It even more represents
the history of the common people, because it has been the tradition
of the rural population that made these landscapes. It cannot be
prevented that Europe is changing and it is good that Europe adapts
to the new dimensions of the world. We, in Europe, have to define
what we think is important and what must be conserved, what can be
adapted to be used for new functions and what can be abolished
because it has no value. These decisions will determine the new
dimensions of the European landscapes. The Frontis Workshop on the
New Dimensions of the European Landscape was held on 10-12 June
2002. Wageningen University and Research Centre organized this
workshop aiming to develop visions on the landscape in Europe, its
development and design in the future and to strengthen the
international network in landscape planning.
