FUTURE OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE SERIES: 

Setting the Foundations for Resilient Landscapes and Communities

While the world has changed a lot over the last 75 years, IFLA continues to serve as a platform for professional collaboration, knowledge sharing, and advocacy, advancing the profession of landscape architecture. Our role in shaping sustainable and resilient environments is still contested and landscape architects across the globe keep fighting the same battles. Pressures of globalisation and urbanisation, threats to sustainability and food security, hazards derived from climate change and sea level rise, the burdens of modern living on our own health and well-being and social justice, and more recently, the pressures resulting from the COVID-19 global pandemic. These issues require us to focus on establishing a joint vision for protecting and nurturing our natural and built environments.

This book sets a framework for discussions to be held at the IFLA 2023 World Council in Nairobi. Download it here.
