Land Development in Flanders in a Changing Perspective

摘要

Flanders is a highly urbanised region in northwestern Europe. In the sixties, land development started with traditional land consolidation and evolved to integrated land development. Characteristics and available capacity of the actual instruments are described. As Flanders is transforming into an urban network society where everybody is claiming the remaining rural or "rurban" areas, and with a new climate, more Europe and less government, integrated land development is facing many challenges. In collaboration with public and private partners, and following an area-oriented approach, a powerful and flexible land development toolbox should be able to create multifunctional, productive landscapes with a high quality of place.
