TRANSLANDS originates from the need to overcome the risk of the landscape decay of alleged minor importance due to their marginalisation and extensive use for agricultural production. Many of the regions have the potential to make use of their cultural, historical and socio-economic value. TRANSLANDS intends to promote actions aimed at protecting and developing the common landscape features shared by several CADSES regions, namely marginal and rural areas characterized by the presence of historical abbeys, water courses and minor cities located along important routes which link large cities. They are considered transversal lands with respect to the main lines of mobility. Nevertheless, they are characterized by cultural, economic, rural and handicraft resources and represent an important link and intermediary between territories and local cultures. The project aims at enhancing their heritage as an important source of sustainable tourism and local economic development.
