At first, the volume should have been a traditional Conference proceedings book, which means a faithful report of the 2020 UNISCAPE Florence Conference (held on October, 16-17 th).
Originally the core of the volume was in fact composed of three complementary sections (Landscape Policy and Governance; Landscape design and Time, and Observing Landscape). The crucial goal of this part was the broader, innovative and shared exploration, beyond national and disciplinary boundaries, of the landscape dimension (and related landscape-oriented issues) as proposed by the ELC. Then, in 2021 and 2022, the global context, and the specific framework have been continuously transforming and evolving. Hence also the volume has been progressively enriched, trying to preserve the continuity of a landscape centred discourse, developed within our UNISCAPE community. In this sense, the first chapter and the last one have been conceived to complete the structure of the book, reporting the continuity of the reflections brought on over time.
So, Section 1, dedicated to New Challenges for European Landscape, hosts a selection of the papers proposed by the keynote speakers in both the Florence conferences, whereas Section 5 contains a set of reflections for the future challenges and landscape-oriented perspectives, drafted by some of the UNISCAPE members.
