Our mission and vision

Shaping the future of landscape architects in Europe.

We bring landscape architects in Europe together to promote excellence in education, professional practice, and knowledge exchange.

As the representative body for the profession at the European level, we advocate for the recognition of landscape architects, support the highest standards of design, planning, management, and conservation, and foster collaboration across borders.

Through active engagement with European institutions and policy frameworks—including the European Green Deal and the EU Urban Agenda—we champion the essential role of landscape architects in addressing climate change, biodiversity loss, and societal challenges.

By combining innovation, research, professional expertise, and advocacy, we ensure that landscapes contribute to a sustainable and thriving future for all.
