School of Landscape Architecture & Planning
A Better World through Planning and Design
At SLA&P, we believe that planning and design improve lives. We study and design ways to improve the built and natural environments for healthy, equitable, and resilient communities and apply cutting-edge technology to advance inter-disciplinary knowledge.
We bring our combined expertise to projects by collaborating across the academy and professions, and with governmental and non-governmental organizations, the private sector, community leaders, and members of the public.
Inspiring students and transforming lives through the stewardship, planning, and design of our natural and built environment. Building upon the traditions of landscape architecture, we explore innovative and impactful solutions to produce a more sustainable, healthy, and just world for all.
Educating the next generation of planning professionals to be good stewards of our built and natural environments, to conduct innovative research that improves quality of life for all, and to provide planning services to communities.
