The Fábos Conference on Landscape and Greenway Planning is
held every three years to bring together experts who are influencing
landscape planning, policy making and greenway planning from the local
to international level. It is intended to highlight recent trends and
expand the literature about landscape and greenway planning. The aim is
to explore how landscape architects and planners from different
countries have approached greenway planning and to understand how
greenways have been tailored to each county’s unique geographical,
cultural, and political circumstances. The conference will be held on April 12-13, 2013.
The
world is in a state of social, economic, political, and ecological
change. From global climate change to urbanization, planners and
landscape architects are grappling with unprecedented change as they
respond to growing demand for limited resources. This theme underlies
each of this year’s Fábos Conference topic areas:Greenway Planning: Planning
for linear corridors has occurred across multiple scales — national,
state or province, and municipal. This track will cover innovations in
greenway planning that span research, policy, and practice with a focus
on cultural landscape planning, recreational, and ecological corridors.Landscape Planning: Planning
for new land uses while protecting ecological integrity and ecosystems
is the theme for landscape planning. This includes green infrastructure,
ecological networks, and urban planning solutions. Landscape Design: An
important aspect of planning is the final design and implementation of
landscapes along a corridor. This topic area includes park design, urban
plazas, historic sites, and other site scale solutions that incorporate
the larger planning context.Call for Abstracts- The
