After the drafting of the Council of Europe Landscape Convention in the year 2000, the Valencian Community and other Spanish autonomous communities defined some of the most advanced policies and tools for the integration of the landscape in regional planning and management. After 25 years, this symposium proposes an international and multifaceted reflection on the main successes and challenges encountered during this period, as well as the identification of the opportunities arising from the new impetus that the Council of Europe wants to provide to the Convention through its recent connection to the Directorate-General for Social Rights, Health and the Environment. In this context, the symposium incorporates four topics to structure the debate. Firstly, Landscape Planning and the improvement of its linkages to other territorial, urban and sectoral planning tools. Secondly, Landscape Governance as a framework for the sustainable integration of social and economic demands and expectations. Thirdly, Landscape Risk Management as a response to the vulnerabilities derived from the intense occupation of the territory and environmental risks, of which the recent DANA (heavy storms and floods) in Valencia is a paradigmatic example of international interest. Finally, a fourth topic focused on the contents and methods of Landscape Studies, as these studies constitute the basic documents to be able to operate satisfactorily in the three previous topics. At the organizational level, the inaugural conferences will be given by leading international experts, who will also participate in the moderation of the working groups in which the attendees will jointly define a series of recommendations for the proper implementation of the Convention in the coming years. The conference will conclude with a guided tour of the southern area of the Metropolitan Area of Valencia to learn about this territory, its vulnerabilities, the effects of the recent DANA, and propose actions aimed at increasing its resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
