About the New Landscape Declaration Summit n June
2016, LAF held a summit featuring leading landscape
architects from around the world. Building from
LAF’s 1966 Declaration of Concern, which
decried the burgeoning environmental crisis and
heralded landscape architecture as a profession critical
to help solve it, summit participants reflected on the last
50 years and shared aspirations and ideas for the future,
which were used to craft a New Landscape
Declaration for landscape architecture in the twenty-
first century.
