Digital technologies have profoundly transformed the built environment, redefining how we design, construct, and interact with the spaces around us. At the Landscape Institute, we’re particularly interested in how emerging technologies can help us to provide landscape-led solutions to the challenges we face – from climate action, to nature recovery, to public health and wellbeing.?
Whether its to increase engagement and collaboration between stakeholders, enhance business operations and project delivery, or inform environmental decision making, digital practice and technology can realise huge potential for the built environment. As the chartered body for the landscape profession and the professional home for all landscape practitioners including landscape architects, landscape and parks managers, landscape planners, and urban designers, we’re excited to see what’s possible.?
Harnessing digital innovation for landscape-led solutions
Advances in digital technology are changing the way we operate across both the built and natural environment, and providing increasingly impactful landscape solutions to the challenges we as a sector face.?
Digital innovation in the landscape sector is revolutionising collaboration and communication with other industries, facilitating more efficient project delivery and management, and most importantly, providing better outcomes for climate, nature, and public health. As the Landscape Institute (LI) prepares for its upcoming conference, Digital Practice & Technology for Landscape, on 11th July, we are excited by what to expect.
Evaluating the Pathfinder tool
In this article, Landscape Institute Award winners, Studio Egret West, discuss nature-based carbon sequestration as a metric for sustainable design at Manchester’s Mayfield Park.
There is a carbon footprint to everything we design and build, from small residential courtyards to public squares and urban parks. How should we measure the carbon footprint of our schemes to include the carbon storage potential of trees, plants and soils?

For... the green skills shortage
The Landscape Institute’s Skills for Greener Places research found that the UK has major green skills gaps, which are inhibiting its ability to deliver on its plans for local climate adaptation and nature recovery. The Landscape Institute will continue to research this issue, and work with industry bodies to demand policy that addresses it.?
For…landscape-led solutions
Landscape professionals are essential for the efficient planning, community-led design and resourceful management of the landscape – in both urban and rural contexts. With these skills and expertise, we can provide the solutions to address the climate and biodiversity emergencies, benefit health and well-being, address the housing crisis, enhance community cohesion, and mitigate against heat and flooding.?
This year’s Futurebuild was valuable and interesting as always, offering a range of session topics and providing networking opportunities for attendees, detailed discussions, and original, expert insights. The Landscape Institute and British Association of Landscape Industries launched our recent ‘Landscape and Carbon’ report this year - ?my colleague Ruhela Begum, Events Lead at the Landscape Institute, said ‘It was great to see so many professionals engaged and listening to the sessions, we were really pleased with the reception it got’.
