Shaping Cultural Landscapes through Regional Governance

Guiding Principles for Spatial Development in Germany

Part of the book series: German Annual of Spatial Research and Policy ((GERMANANNUAL))

In 2006 the German Standing Conference of Ministers responsible for Spatial Planning (MKRO) decided on three new concepts. The third concept can be summarised as “Conservation of resources, shaping of cultural landscapes”. In addition to the usual spatial planning tasks such as giving careful consideration to competing claims for space and protecting open spaces and other natural resources, the concept includes a new component – to actively shape cultural landscapes. This spatial planning task involves more than just preserving places of historical importance since all urban, semi-urban and rural areas are regarded as cultural landscapes, subject to regional development concepts and strategies1. Cultural landscapes are viewed as a “qualitative supplement to traditional spatial development policies” and as “areas with their own particular characteristics serving the advancement of identification of the inhabitants with the region in which they live”2. Thus shaping cultural landscapes has, for the first time, become a “national task”3.
