In a context of rapidly changing livability towns and countryside, climate change biodiversity decrease, this paper introduces landscape-based planning approach to regional spatial policy challenges allowing regime shift towards future land system resilient external pressures. The concept nature-based solutions transition theory are combined in approach, which co-created normative visions serve as boundary concepts. Rather than an object itself, the landscape is considered comprehensive...
Living labs are understood as collaborative platforms in which actors from research, government and business, citizens, work together to address complex societal challenges. They increasingly seen an instrument support sustainability transitions, such transitions a circular bio-based climate smart society. can create spaces for joint experimenting learning by exploring the barriers possibilities transition co-creating appropriate viable solutions. These high expectations increased interest...
Abstract Policy makers are confronted with the question of how to combine sustainable flood protection and floodplain rehabilitation in best possible way. Both topics deal spatial planning aspects a range scales. This was starting point for development an evaluation method within IRMA/SPONGE project I NTERMEUSE , illustrated on basis assumed strategies Meuse river basin (the ‘sponge’ strategy, ‘retention’ ‘floodplain lowering’ or ‘winter bed’ strategy). The integration can be performed two...
Normative scenarios for long-term (e.g., 100 years) landscape development can be very inspiring to imagine outside the box futures, without being obliged define concrete policy objectives shorter term. However, it remains challenging translate such visions into clear transition pathways. We draw upon a landscape-based design approach local spatial planning foster well-functioning landscape, resilient various external pressures. Inspired by national visioning exercise Netherlands in 2120, two...
