Rethinking the Urban Landscape, Landscape Institute

As Garden Bridge gets the go ahead and the Walkie Talkie’s 180 metre Sky Garden opens its doors, the Landscape Institute, London reflects on the importance of city planning through the watchful eye of the natural landscape.

How can green spaces change the way we live?

Rethinking the Urban Landscape presents 45 innovative contemporary landscape projects in the UK and abroad, such as King’s Cross, the Olympic Park, and even community allotments, that promote healthier, safer and happier cities. It argues the case that green infrastructure in the early stages of city planning creates a huge number of benefits that range from reduced flood risk to tackling poor air quality.

Curated by The Building Centre and the Landscape Institute, this new design exhibition presents visitors with a diverse selection of projects, films and intricate models to support the importance of good landscape architecture.
