Managing educational landscapes

Abstract

The topic of this chapter is the management of the processes on the intersection of space and education. When the realization of educational landscapes is connected to spatial activities such as the construction of buildings or an urban concept for the distriet, implementation is highly complex. Both educational actors and planning professionals have work together with the public administration to accomplish the project. This network creates nodes, which are very different from one another. No practice and structure for cooperation is established either on the side of the educational institutions or on the side of public administrators and planners. Nevertheless, there has to be a coordinated process. Management structures are necessary to lead the project towards its goal.
