Abstract

In this paper I will put forward some aspects of the position Central and Eastern Europe in the European history of landscape architecture, with a special focus on Hungary (this time especially on the historical Hungary). The key question is how this position influences the contemporary planning and design of landscapes where heritage plays a role. The first part of the paper has paid attention to the historical development of the garden as a landscape element in the history of landscape architecture in general and how it affected thinking and practice. It has been further elaborated on the position of Central and Eastern Europe in the context 
of European landscape architecture and the special position of Hungary. The second part deals with the design approaches related to heritage and contemporary planning and design of landscapes. These design approaches will be placed in the frame of the 
new challenges for landscape architecture for the future; water conservation, energy transition and the creation of comfort and healthy environments for people. It will be worked out in a case study in Romania; the landscape of the Maros river valley.
In the conclusions the concept of 'readability' is put forward in the context of heritage in landscape architecture.
