The document summarizes the results of the Belvedere programme from 1999-2010 in the Netherlands which aimed to better integrate landscape, heritage, and planning. Some key results included two pilot projects at the national level focusing on heritage sites, over 400 locally subsidized projects, the establishment of an education network and research on the topic. The programme influenced national planning policy like recognizing national landscapes. The document also discusses different approaches to working with heritage from denial to reconstruction to preservation to inspiration.
