1997, Spatial Patterns and Landscape Ecology: Implications for Biodiversity - Part 3 of 7 Abstract January 2000: Policy direction for biodiversity is now represented by the Landscape Unit Planning Guide. This Extension Note should be regarded as technical background only. Spatial patterns? To get a good idea of what we mean by spatial patterns in forested landscapes, bail out of an airplane at 10 000 m over British Columbia on a clear day. All of these patterns are "spatial" in the sense that they occupy three- dimensional space. The Forest Practices Code acknowledges the importance of landscape ecology concepts by enabling district managers to designate planning areas called landscape units, each with specific landscape unit objectives. This extension note is the third in a series designed to raise awareness of landscape ecology concepts and to provide background for the ecologically based forest management approach recommended in the Biodiversity Guidebook.

1.1.1 Polycentricity Thematic scope and context The European urban system is a main territorial structure and the cities are key drivers in the development of regions and larger territories. The specific functionality and potentials of cities are being explored and a typology of the European urban reality developed. The ESDP highlighted the objective of a polycentric development in support of a balanced and harmonious European territory. The project display some options for territorial cooperation in terms of complementary and distance between urban functional regions that could support a polycentric pattern, in particular at European and transnational scale. In this respect the project addresses issues mentioned in the ESDP highlighting the special contribution that could be undertaken by cooperation on concepts of global integration zones, gateway cities and polycentric urban clusters as well as individual urban poles in support of territorial balance and cohesion.
