Landscape Design

  • Integrated landscape management (ILM) is an increasingly popular approach to addressing development, climate change, food security and a host of other global issues. But what does it mean to take a landscape approach? Can we ensure policymakers and institutions aren’t simply putting a new label on old ideas? By clearly defining key concepts while recognizing the diversity of perspectives we hope to ground ILM in a common foundation, so that conversations about landscape management are clear, productive, and support real innovation.

  • On 24 October 2017, representatives of the international community of designers, architects, planners, and landscape architects signed the Montreal Design Declaration. The Declaration proclaims the potential of design to achieve global economic, social, environmental, and cultural objectives and includes a dramatic call to action to professionals, educators, and governments, as well as a list of proposed projects.
