< span style="background-color:initial\;font-family:inherit\;font-size:inher it\;text-align:inherit\;text-transform:inherit\;word-spacing:normal\;caret -color:auto\;white-space:inherit\;">The profession of landscape architects plays a central role in these efforts\, promoting urban approaches that p rioritize living soils\, biodiversity\, and sustainable water management. It operates across all scales of metropolitan\, agro-forestral\, industria l or/and natural territories. It helps to anticipate environmental changes through participatory project approaches that make transformative dynamic s accessible to inhabitants.
To support the transf ormation of territories\, landscape architects develop nature-based soluti ons: to this end\, they leverage all available sources of socio-environmen tal information\, data systems and others digital tools. Combined with art ificial intelligence\, these tools now complement the survey and represent ation methods already at their disposal for their projects.
The IFLA WORLD 2025 congress is an opportunit y to share best practices and insights from practitioners and researchers around the world\, aiming to make the actions of landscape architects and associated professionals even more virtuous and effective.
