Four chapters describe the main results of the project, that concern: the use of the Landscape concept to foster a new and effective approach to climate change adaptation; the employed methodologies for learning, design and participatory processes; the construction of local networks and the definition of programmatic inputs for Landscape Adaptation Plans for Climate Change.

This office would be jointly supported by the five municipalities that promoted the Strategic Plan and, in order to avoid extra costs, it would mainly utilize existing human and material resources. In addition, the Plan analyses different options to increase cooperation between the partner municipalities. These options include a commonwealth of municipalities, a consortium, a local action group and the definition of agreements for specific issues. From a broader perspective, the Governance and Implementation Plan reveals the increasing need to define new regional models of administration and governance, in order to deal with possibilities and problems that exceed conventional administrative boundaries. Finally, since the Sierra Calderona Strategic Plan is an informative and non-binding document, the plan explores different ways to link it with statutory Local and Regional Plans (Planes Generales de Ordenacion Urbana and Planes de Accion Territorial) and with the Management Plans of the Sierra Calderona Natural Park.

It also defines the management works and the role that hunters, together with other actors, can play in the management of natural areas.

The Observatory promotes research, discussion, participation and actions on landscape issues. A central principle is that any Finnish territory, rural or urban, local or regional, whether outstanding, ordinary or damaged, has an associated landscape that deserves study, management and planning. Furthermore, those landscapes can become assets for future sustainable development and wellbeing.

However, due to the systemic, multiscalar and multidimensional character of water, the use of multi-inter-transdisciplinary knowledge has become a precondition, generating at the same time new curricular and pedagogical challenges. On the other hand, Studio courses are solidly positioned at the core of many design and planning disciplines but have witnessed the increasing use of intensive formats that might affect the way in which the learning process is developed. This paper analyses-from a critical perspective and through a particular Case Study (iWater Summer Schools)-some of the potentials and challenges affecting the intersection between Studio-teaching, intensive learning processes and landscape planning in highly multidisciplinary conditions. In particular, and after conducting a literature review on studio-based and intensive courses, the paper proposes a set of strategic points to design and assess intensive landscape planning Studios. These points are used to critically discuss the methods, results and especially the learning processes that took place in the iWater Summer Schools and to propose some future pedagogic lines of research.

Perhaps no needs and values are more varied than those of the many nonhuman animals which live alongside humans in urban spaces. Communicative planning theory (CPT) has emerged over the last 30 years to improve planning's ethical content by navigating fuller and more diverse multi-interest, multi-stakeholder discourses. The perceived or real absence of significant human-nonhuman animal communications presents a problem for incorporating animals into communicative planning's anthroponormative frameworks. This thesis adopts a socioecologically hybridized perspective to explore why and how animals may be conceived of as stakeholders in communicative planning, what values and practices produce human-nonhuman animal relationships, and how these translate to outcomes in spatial planning. Using theories which question the viability of the human-animal binary, especially actor network theory (ANT) and Callon's sociology of translation, I develop my own relational perspective of urban communicative and spatial planning practice that may include nonhuman animals as part of urban spatial planning's 'decision-making spaces'. I use this approach in analysis of a spatial planning problem involving three species of nonhuman animals, the Jokeri Light Rail of Helsinki, Finland. From the case study I draw conclusions about how nonhuman animals relate, communicate and negotiate within spatial planning systems in fundamentally distinct ways requiring the development of new communicative apparatus and stakeholder engagement tools. In conclusion, I discuss the ways in which the animal-as-stakeholder concept might be affirmatively used by professional planners to achieve better outcomes for multi-species communities. This means conceiving of urban development not as a battle of human progress against biodiversity conservation, but a multivariable negotiation to reach 'good enough' outcomes for a multitude of organisms. I conclude that contemporary spatial planning's ethical aims of creating quasi-stable urban coexistences demands developing deliberative processes of decision-making with and in a multispecies community. 2.
