Welcome to Landscape and the Public Realm
Current problems include the late incorporation of landscape design into schemes, poor maintenance and utilising existing trees in new developments.
The industry needs specialist insights and new strategies for ensuring masterplans take advantage of the landscape around them. We need to understand how outdoor space is maintained and how this can be considered from the very beginning of the design process.
Plus, it is critical that we protect and retain habitat to ensure biodiversity is achieved in new spaces.
Do you need detail on how current public realm schemes are being specified? Are you keen to learn from your peers and share knowledge on landscape design?
AJ’s Landscape and the Public Realm conference will help you uncover new ways to preserve existing ecology in new schemes. You’ll discover how local authorities go about maintaining public spaces in their care, and how you can design with maintenance in mind to ensure the built design lasts the tests of time. Benefit from longer sessions where speakers can go into more depth about why decisions were made on schemes, and what outcomes have occurred.With green roofs and walls now featuring heavily in public realm projects, why not attend out pre-conference seminar Digging Deeper into Green Roofs and Walls? Find out how technology for living roofs and walls is moving forward, and hear case studies on successful green roofs. Plus, learn more about the challenges, successes and failures in new green walls – and how you can ensure your green walls thrive.
