As the UK continues to expand its industrial, logistics, warehousing and data centre capacity, the challenge is no longer simply where development takes place, but how it is integrated into the landscape.
In this edition, we explore the growing role of landscape architecture in creating developments that work harder, delivering biodiversity, sustainable drainage, visual integration and long-term value alongside commercial objectives. From strategic landscape assessments and masterplanning to the design of individual industrial sites, these articles highlight how early landscape thinking can unlock opportunities, address constraints and create better places for people, businesses and nature.
We also look at recent changes to planning policy, which reinforce the growing importance of evidence-based assessment, green infrastructure and landscape-led design in shaping future development.
