El Paisaje en la Ordenación del Territorio. Los Catálogos de Paisaje de Cataluña

Abstract

The Landscape Catalogues of Catalonia are a new instrument used to incorporate landscape into the formal categorization of territories and is a key element to facilitate the connection between territorial and urban planning at the political level. The catalogues define the concrete strategic and directive lines that can improve landscape quality in Catalonia as well as the quality of life for its citizens. They also represent a powerful educational tool that will play an important roll in the immediate future in raising awareness concerning the importance of landscape. In this article, we iterate the importance of activating these instruments by the Landscape Observatory of Catalonian, the organization in charge of their production.
