We observe, in particular in the Northern countries and, specifically, in Europe – in urban and rural areas – an ever increasing and drastic landscape reshaping. Generally, it is the effect of very rapid changes in the environment and society, linked to factors such as: development strategies, policies based on utilitarian and competitive logic, privatization of public places and commons, commodification and large-scale production models. The result is that people suffer tremendous changes in their life context, misplace sense and values of their landscape, and lose their territorial identity and sovereignty, although they formally continue to be the owner of their residences and lands. Landscape transformation, dispossession and mystification, historically produced by the industrialization and urbanization process, are pervasively advancing at a stunning speed due to neoliberal globalisation. Therefore, considering that the well-known «land grabbing» concept is not adequate to describe the observed phenomenon, we propose a suitable conceptual frame based on four cornerstones: the rapid and drastic reshape of landscape; the «indirect» grabbing acts and tools; the exogenous promoters; the territorial conflicts between the inhabitants and developers.
