Abstract

This chapter revisits the most significant international definitions of the metropolitan landscape. It shows methods of mapping and measuring the metropolitan landscape, most of them developed at TU Delft. Additionally, it discusses one of the tools that can be used to develop the metropolitan landscape and reflect on its qualities and challenges: the Community of Practice (CoP). The organisation and some of the outcomes of a Dutch CoP for metropolitan landscape development (coordinated by the Deltametropolis Association 2016-2023) are highlighted. The chapter draws conclusions on metropolitan landscape challenges and sets an agenda for spatial planning and research in this field.
