Role of the Landscape Architect

Landscape architects plan, design, and implement green infrastructure

at all scales. Landscape architects work with policymakers, planners,

architects, engineers, ecologists, scientists, and horticulturalists to

implement best practices for green infrastructure systems and

designs, ensuring these systems deliver benefits to both natural

wildlife and human communities.

Landscape architects are involved in regional master planning,

conservation and restoration efforts, urban design, and park and green

roof design and construction. At all scales, they bring a critical eye for

pedestrian and artistic value to the design process.
