As a result of the Europeanization of spatial development policy and the need to keep and strengthen the different characters and qualities of economic areas in the context of Europe, cultural landscapes in regions and cities have emerged as increasingly relevant task areas of a very special kind. They partially cover regional labor markets by guiding the economy, society and space towards the original productive forces of the area and their cultivation with an impact on the city and landscape, thus linking new opportunities for growth and innovation to the history of regional cultures.
The connection to the regional labor markets can be established by searching for, promoting and integrating local and regional economies into the framework of the cultural landscape in terms of content and processes. For the urban development of Wittenberg, this primarily means distinguishing between the characters of the two banks and the cross-river networking of paths and views as a framework for an urban and a rural side.
The regulatory mandate is a preparation for the coordination of design requirements for the concrete formulation of the development-relevant goals for urban development and framework planning, for land-use planning and the preservation of renovation of individual cultural monuments.
