Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are fundamental to creating landscapes that reflect the people who use them, respect the history of place, and serve all communities. This work strengthens the profession by expanding representation, elevating diverse voices in the design process, and addressing historic inequities embedded in landscapes. By centering inclusive engagement and social justice, landscape architects help shape places that honor cultural identity and foster belonging.
