NachWuchs Landschaftsarchitektur is an independent podcast about landscape architecture, landscape planning, and related disciplines. It focuses on perspectives from study, career entry, and young practice.
Why
We talk about how cities, landscapes, and the environment can be planned, designed, and understood today: in the face of climate change, biodiversity loss, competing land uses, and social change.
