We’ve had two years of disruption, and parks and open space are seen as essential services. People continue to place greater value on outdoor spaces as places to exercise, relax, meet, and recreate. Join us as we outline some of the greatest emerging trends and opportunities for landscape architects. We’ll explore the major trends emerging from the COVID years and discuss the positive implications for landscape architects to create a new fabric of life that’s good for people, health, business, and the planet.
Learning Outcomes:
Describe how new funding is accelerating park design and updates, and how Landscape Architects can follow where the funding streams lead.

Outline why the coming together of marketing and service will create new opportunities for landscape architects to create community hubs.
