Wageningen University has been awarded a NWO WOTRO Integrated Programme Grant to conduct research on flood resilience and flood risk management in Bangladesh and the Netherlands for the five year research programme 'Communities and institutions for flood resilience: enhancing knowledge and capacity to manage flood risk in the Bangladeshi and Dutch Deltas'.
'Exploring the Visual Landscape' offers important clues for theory, methodology and application in research and development of landscapes all over the world, from a specifically Dutch academic context. It showcases possible ways of getting a grip on themes like: landscape openness, cluttering of the rural landscape, high-rise buildings in relation to cityscape, historic landscapes and motorway panoramas.
