Think about the new challenges of human landscape planning and establish hierarchical duties and protocols for its management as cultural heritage. Facilitate the exchange of experiences and the updating of knowledge between academicals and professionals about research related to this concept. Define the identity of the contemporary collective space, from its new economic, cultural and social tasks. Encourage the acknowledgment of an immaterial heritage as a recognisable value that is shown in its physical trace.

Use strategic activities such as tourism, leisure, education and culture for involving society in the appreciation and sustainability of Cultural Landscape . Promote a normative code of intervention for the remains of the recent technological and industrial past, which bear a great material and symbolic value for the development of the European citizens Establish the criteria and research lines that would encourage the creation of an institutional engagements network to favour the understanding, conservation and viability management of Cultural Landscape Program a schedule of common actions relating to the future of Cultural Landscape .
