Sustainability and Resilience
Sustainability and resilience are key themes that carry throughout all courses in the Landscape Architecture curriculum. These ideas have been at the center of critical and growing debates about how our world is changing. Urbanization, climate change, environmental degradation, social and environmental justice are all areas of discourse that engage ideas of sustainability and resilience, and are key factors that students address when they take on research, planning and design projects.
Specific courses that emphasize sustainability and/or resilience include:
