Call for Papers dossier vol. 21 (2021)

The Dossier No 21 (2021) with the title Cultural Landscapes built to cultivate and to live: challenges for sustainability is coordinated by Dr. Lidia Esther Romero Martín (The Research Group on Physical Geography and Environment), Dr. Juan Manuel Parreño Castellano (The Research Group: Societies and Spaces of the Atlantic), both belonging to the University of Las Palmas in Gran Canaria, and Dr. María Angélica Salas (Honorary Research Fellow at the Centre for Agroecology, Water & Resilience at Coventry University, UK and member of ITLA Committee).

This Issue will focus on articles that interlink terraced agricultural landscapes with urban landscapes. The former ones will be analysed with a holistic and interdisciplinary approach in order to reflect upon the existing opportunities offered by these cultural landscapes. The aim is to avoid loss of identity and natural resources as well as territorial detachment. Looking at the past and the present of terraced landscapes will contribute to their reenchantment adding new perspectives to these old landscapes as spaces for opportunities. The study of urban landscapes will be examined from patrimonial, functional, socioeconomic as well as environmental and identity perspectives. This approach has the purpose to promote the debate regarding the city as a space for production and reproduction within the frame of capitalist reconfiguration of urban spaces.

The reception of articles is open until June 30, 2020 to researchers from all mountain regions of the world that are working in these fields of studies.
