International Meeting on Terraced Landscapes. Choosing the future

Seminars within the meeting will take place in Padova and Venice, Italy

Dal 06.10.2016 al 15.10.2016

Terraced landscapes are all over the world. They are the tangible evidence of how human life can express itself in the steepest slopes of mountain and coastal areas of the world.

Caring for terraced landscapes means that these landscapes can meet different needs such as cultural and historical value, environmental and hydrogeological functions, quality of life, community empowerment and sustainable development.

The international Meeting on “Terraced Landscapes: Choosing the Future” from 6th to 15th October 2016 in Padua and Venice represents a unique opportunity to participate in the generation of ideas and in the formulation of multiple scenarios on the future of terraces in the world.
The event will provide a powerful impetus for international efforts to protect and value terraced landscapes. It offers to the participants from other continents a profound insight into the remarkable heritage of terraced landscapes in Italy and in the surrounding countries of the Mediterranean basin and central Europe.

More information on how to participate in the meeting are available on the Terraced Landscapes Website.
