Landscape Architecture Australia 137.

This landmark issue of Landscape Architecture Australia surveys the work of landscape architects as urban designers. The issue provides a unique snapshot of the involvement of the landscape architecture profession in urban design projects, at what is a critical moment for the profession, and Australian cities and regional centres. Presented through the personal reflections of landscape architects, the eight projects are diverse in location, scale and type – ranging from strategies for a twenty-three-kilometre growth corridor along Parramatta Road in Sydney, to a beachside regional centre north of Perth and to a new city in China that will one day be home to four million people.

This contemporary record of projects, practice and experience has been guest edited by the eminent team of Richard Weller, Catherin Bull and Julian Bolleter. Each is highly regarded for their contribution to the discipline and practice of landscape architecture in Australia. We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank them for bringing their collective knowledge and insights to the making of the issue.

To mark the centenary of the nation’s capital, the next issue of Landscape Architecture Australia (May 2013) will celebrate a hundred years of landscape architecture in Canberra. Guest edited by Canberra-based landscape architect Neil Hobbs, the issue will be a portrait of the city at this significant milestone.
