T\u2026he Landscape Institute launched a seminal new briefing paper, \u2018Maximising value from built development: How a landscape-led approach delivers more for people, place and nature\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the government seeks to deliver 1.5 million homes over the next five years, putting \u2018landscape first\u2019 has never been more critical. The coming years will see the transformation of large areas of UK land and the creation of many new landscapes through new homes and infrastructure. Where the original briefing set out the key criteria and benefits of landscape-led approaches, this edition of Landscape sets the context, explores the detail, and brings more voices into the conversation. We explore the key issues driving the need for landscape-led approaches, from housing and health to climate and nature. We take a historical lens to the approach and return to the very foundations of the profession, shining a light on the enduring influence of early pioneers and invoking its key conventions. We consider the value of landscape in the emerging planning and development system and celebrate the next generation who will be implementing the projects of tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A proven approach to better places<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bringing experienced landscape professionals in from the very start ensures developments are smarter, more adaptable, and deliver maximum benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are now countless examples of how placing landscape at the heart of planning benefits communities and the wider society. Just have a look at some of the examples below, exemplifying economic, value, environmental, health and community benefits\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
