HERILAND

HERILAND - Cultural Heritage and the Planning of European Landscapes

HERILAND is a pan-European research and training network on cultural heritage in relation to Spatial Planning and Design. The overriding aim is the empowerment of a new generation of academics, policymakers, practitioners, professionals and entrepreneurs.

This new generation must devise and guide transdisciplinary, cross-sectoral and mainstreamed planning and design strategies for regenerating European heritage and landscape, foster social inclusiveness, and create socially, economically and environmentally sustainable future landscapes. The goal is to conceive and operationalise a transferable research design with which to investigate at a multi-national level how heritage should be managed and planned in the context of contemporary spatial and societal transformations and related sustainable development goals. The expected impact is to educate a new generation of researchers, professionals and entrepreneurs.
