Description
The landscape architecture profession’s origin in the late 1800s tethered our work to wealth, politics, and power associated with urban areas and the coasts. This call-to-action panel questions this lingering bias, assembling practitioners who have adapted discipline and design approaches to oft-looked-over rural communities.
