The European Landscape Convention will become law in 2007 and should be mentioned. It is based on the premise that landscape, whatever quality, whether rural or urban, built or natural, should be recognised, understood and fully integrated into policy and decision making. Landscape has important cultural, ecological, environmental and social dimensions and is a key element in achieving sustainable development.
