Join a collective learning experience for the landscape architecture community. We will explore how to better understand the many economic benefits of nature-based solutions that landscape architects plan and design.
The series builds on the economic analyses ASLA released in 2024 and will help guide a new economic research plan for the landscape architecture community.
The series will explore:
How economists and project stakeholders (governments, developers, insurance companies, etc.) understand the economic benefits of nature-based solutions and landscape architecture
How landscape architects can better make the economic case for their projects
Potential areas of economic research that can be advanced by ASLA, the Landscape Architecture Foundation (LAF), the Council of Educators in Landscape Architecture (CELA) and landscape architecture educators, partner organizations (ULI, etc.), and economists and market researchers
