Infrastructure Design as a Catalvst for Landscape lransformation
a policy level, the challenge is to support these integrated ambition of spatial,
mobility. and infrastructure planning with a framework that capitalizes the syn-
ergies between them. As Smets argues,
In practice, the division among the traditional disciplines and the customary forms
of commission related to it, run against this perception of infrastructure as an all-
inclusive landscape. A very large number of sectoral authorities intervene in the
construction of the territory. Many of them have their own habits,their own budget,
and like acting as their own principal. ...The increasing complexity is the greatest
drive to alter this policy of compartments. (2001,12)
