The landscape catalogues were created at a time in which it was essential to introduce a new culture of territorial planning based on prudent management, on a new, imaginative treatment of open space and of the landscape as a whole and on a new way of governing and of managing the territory based on dialogue and social consensus. Now, with all the landscape catalogues completed and approved by the Catalan Ministry of the Territory and Sustainability, it is the best time to explain their preparation methodology. Therefore, this publication explains and records the methodology used for preparing the seven landscape catalogues and is, at the same time, a basis and a precedent for future methodological tools.
