Amid the climate crisis and growing competition for land and open space, landscape architecture has moved to the center of urban transformation. It is no longer a subordinate discipline or a green alibi, but a critical interface between ecology, politics, and the production of space. Here, climate adaptation, resource conflicts, and questions of social justice are negotiated in concrete terms. Here, the future of urban life is decided.

To mark the publication of ARCH+ 263: Stadtnatur | Urban Nature, we will speak with Marcel Tröger, co-founder of studio erde – office for anthropocene landscapes, and with atelier le balto, whose work over the past two decades has shaped a process-oriented, open landscape practice. How is the discipline changing? What responsibility does it carry in the transformation of our cities? And what does it mean to design with the living?

The issue was produced with the support of the Berlin Senate Department for Mobility, Transport, Climate Protection and the Environment and is published on the occasion of the 38th German Nature Conservation Day in Berlin.

The event will be held in German.

Admission is free. The event is fully booked.
