description Deltas are extremely rich in natural resources and cultural heritage, but also vulnerable. Along coasts and waterfronts, rivers, irrigation/drainage canals, which shape the land-water transition, a plurality of values, demands, and issues emerge in an often-conflictual way.A recurring conflict is that between anthropocentric and ecocentric attitudes, which could be overcome by an “environmental” approach.
