“…Rapid and unregulated urban expansion has led to the domination of the city over l'Horta and the triumph of modernity over tradition [42]. Its condition of peri-urban agricultural matrix and proximity to the city center has triggered a decrease in the cultivated surface of the traditional Horta.…”

This paper assesses the evolution in the preservation, management and planning of a cultural landscape: the historical Mediterranean huerta of Valencia, l'Horta de València. After a characterization of l'Horta as a traditional cultural landscape and a description of its main elements and functions, an account of the driving forces behind changes in this landscape is offered. This account highlights the way in which shared patterns of landscape transformation in Europe materialize in the particular case of l'Horta. It is argued that the negative changes and impacts are not simply the outcome of global dynamics but the result of the region's planning trajectory and approach to landscape management. This has been shaped by the lack of a territorial and supra-municipal perspective and the primacy of aspects related to culture, identity and heritage over the productive dimension of the landscape. This claim unfolds through an overview of the planning and policy background that has determined the fate of l'Horta over the past decades and an analysis of the new planning tools recently adopted by the Valencia regional government, L'Horta Law and the Territorial Action Plan for the Management and Revitalization of L'Horta, both from 2018. The paper reflects on the general approach of these documents in the light of the literature on landscape planning and peri-urban agricultural landscapes and assesses the main differences and similarities with respect to the previous institutional and planning contexts.

“…Son el resultado de siglos de interacciones entre los seres humanos y la naturaleza, de transformaciones en los modelos agrícolas y usos del suelo, pero también en las necesidades humanas. Con todo, es en el siglo XX, con el triunfo de la modernidad sobre la tradición, cuando han empezado a experimentar cambios dramáticos relacionados con el crecimiento de la ciudad hacia la periferia y la ocupación del suelo (Cárcel-García et al, 2014). En la actualidad, su condición de agricultura periurbana sigue ejerciendo una enorme presión sobre las Huertas tradicionales y sus rasgos de identidad.…”

RESUMENLas grandes Huertas mediterráneas españolas afrontan un futuro incierto. Varios procesos convergentes comprometen ese futuro: reducción de la superficie tradicional, pérdida de rentabilidad y escasas garantías de relevo generacional en las explotaciones, contaminación, consumo de suelo para trazado de infraestructuras y clasificación de suelo agrícola como urbanizable. Las distintas administraciones con competencias sobre las Huertas han permitido o propiciado durante décadas el avance de estos procesos. Ninguna de ellas ha demostrado la suficiente voluntad política para adoptar planes territoriales y estrategias de coordinación a escala metropolitana que garantizasen la protección de estos espacios periurbanos de singular valor. La conservación de las Huertas requiere una nueva forma de entender la cultura del agua, del territorio y del paisaje. Para mantenerlas vivas, los agricultores han de continuar siendo los protagonistas. Hay posibilidades de futuro: desde la agricultura y la ganadería biológica, saludable y de calidad orientada a la demanda urbana próxima, hasta la formación o el turismo rural. La función social requerida a los agricultores será, en algunos casos, distinta a la tradicional. En ese contexto, los poderes públicos han de imaginar un nuevo contrato social con los agricultores.

Spanish Mediterranean Huertas: theory and reality in the planning and management of peri-urban agriculture and cultural landscapes

Huertas are distinctive peri-urban agricultural landscapes. Only a few of these spaces remain in Europe. This paper focuses on two of them: the Spanish Mediterranean Huertas of Valencia and Murcia. Despite their cultural, historical and natural value, Huertas face an uncertain future. They are threatened by several confluent processes: a decrease of cultivated land, pollution, infrastructure plans, urban sprawl, profitability loss, low guarantee of generational renewal and abandonment of material heritage. These changes can be explained, as we argue, by analyzing the failure of political planning and management at the metropolitan level. We claim that the conservation of Huertas demands territorial planning at the appropriate scale and a new culture of water, territory and landscape. For traditional Huertas to be kept alive and have a multifunctional character, farmers should be the stewards of such privileged areas. But, in some cases, they will be expected to perform a social role different from the traditional food production activities. A cultural shift is required to conceive the territory not only as a resource and physical support of human activities, but also as an identity frame of reference, collective heritage, culture, history and legacy.
