Landscape Architects generally aim to provide the best possible environments for people to both live and work in, and enjoy.
They work on a diverse range of projects and all types of outdoor space – large and small, urban and rural, to include:
- The location and setting of new development or redevelopment
- The spaces outside buildings, including housing and schools
- Public parks and sports facilities
- Highways and other transport corridors
- City and town centre public realm, including pedestrian zones
- Large or small urban regeneration schemes
- Landscape history and conservation
- Landscape character and environmental assessment
- Landscape management
- Planning advice
