Research on landscape architecture, urban metabolism and climate-positive design was presented at the IFLA World Congress. The presentation examined how metabolic and life-cycle thinking can strengthen landscape-architecture practice and professional capacities for climate action. The discussion centres on Landscape architecture, Climate-positive design, Urban metabolism, and Professional practice.

The contribution is developed through Conference presentation and practitioner research. The geographical or conceptual scope is International landscape practice. It was presented at IFLA World Congress during 2023.

The contribution reflects the Lab’s interdisciplinary approach, combining quantitative and qualitative evidence to translate urban-metabolism research into planning, design, governance or policy.
