Hello!

Welcome to Podcasting the Future of Landscape Architecture in the Age of Climate Change, which features podcasts created by students for the course LARC 523: Landscape Architecture Theory at the University of British Columbia. Delving into the dynamic intersection of landscape architecture and climate change, these podcasts serve as a way to introduce diverse audiences to and navigate the complexities of our contemporary environmental challenges.

Within the realm of landscape architecture, climate change stands as a pivotal force shaping the future of our built and natural environments. Recognizing this urgency, students have made podcasts that seek to explore the multifaceted connections between landscape architecture, climate change, and climate justice. Through research, critical analysis, and engaging narratives, each podcast explores a distinct facet of this vital discourse.

Drawing from a diverse array of sources including scholarly literature, archival materials, news articles, and documentaries, students have curated rich and comprehensive insights into their chosen topics. Moreover, the incorporation of recorded interviews with knowledgeable individuals brings firsthand perspectives and experiences to the forefront, enriching the dialogue and offering unique insights into the complex interplay between theory and practice.

As advocates for change, these podcasts do not simply analyze the issues at hand; they also ignite discussions on the proactive role of landscape architects in adapting to the impacts of climate change. Through thought-provoking discussions, they explore innovative strategies, considerations, and potential interventions that can reshape the landscape architecture profession toward a more sustainable and equitable future.
