Abstract

This paper looks at factors influencing the maintenance of cultural landscapes in developed countries, especially in the UK. It considers four issues: the driving forces leading to change in cultural landscapes; the role of management plans and land-use plans in reinforcing landscape character; the ‘barriers’ and ‘bridges’ that hinder or facilitate the implementation of these plans; and the use of plans to facilitate a ‘virtuous circle’ so that cultural landscapes are reinforced by sustainable development.
