The European Urban Landscape Partnership has the goal of promoting the planning and management of the urban landscape which is a key element in an integrated strategy for the conservation and development of the urban environment.
It will operate by facilitating communication and cooperation between all interested parties. The innovative collaboration of municipal authorities, university departments and other stakeholders in the urban landscape will also provide important new impulses and synergy effects in pursuing this goal.
The resources of universities, including student projects, masters´ theses, dissertations and research programmes, will provide a key contribution to the Partnership in that they can be made available to city authorities in an international context to help tackle urban landscape issues.
At the same time impulses from practice will flow back into teaching and research. Because the initiation of the European urban Landscape Partnership is taking place within the context of the LE:NOT RE T hematic Network Project, it is possible to build directly on the foundations created by its more than one hundred member universities, and to make use of much of the structure of the project website which has so far been developed.
In this way the LE:NOT RE thematic Network Project provides a stable foundation for the establishment of the European U rban Landscape Partnership. term benefit of the 80% of Europe's citizens who live and work in its urban landscapes.
