Abstract
The ecological and political contexts of the Columbia Basin in the United States and IJsselmeerpolders in The Netherlands are briefly described. Within these settings, two large-scale reclamation projects have been planned and developed. The planning processes employed in these projects are analyzed by comparing the general approaches with reclamation planning in the two nations, the ecological and political contexts, planning goals for the projects, project organizational structure, the extent to which a regional planning framework was used, the influence of environmental planning considerations, and the length of the planning process. Based on this analysis, concepts about landscape planning and landscape design in reclaimed areas are explored.
