Landscape
Public realm, parks and green infrastructure projects. Why landscape is now consent-critical, and who is hiring.
Knowledge
Working on landscape projects.
Landscape as a sector covers the projects that shape outdoor public life: parks, streetscapes, squares and the green infrastructure of new development. It is the part of the built environment everyone uses, whether they notice it or not.
Policy has pushed landscape to the centre of development. Biodiversity net gain requirements in England mean green infrastructure is now a consent-critical discipline, and demand for landscape skills has risen with it. The sector works hand in hand with landscape design and urban design as disciplines.
This hub gathers the live picture for landscape projects: who is hiring, which teams are growing, and the conversations shaping the sector right now.
