The new conference (November 2023) titled "LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE +20. Education, Research, and Applied Project," sharing the same name as the one held in 2005, is honored by 500 attendees with 150 presentations, together with invited internationally recognized landscape architects, four exhibitions, posters, and the landscape works of AUTh and IFLA.

It serves as a report on two decades of study and actions in the Greek and European context, as well as a springboard for the future for all colleagues, educators, and researchers in landscape architecture, architects, agronomists, foresters, spatial planners, civil engineers, and artists practicing landscape architecture through their work, graduates of landscape architecture studies, and their projects, students and their visions.

The uniqueness of the field, the interdisciplinary engagement with the subject, and the diversity of landscape architecture in addressing scale, programming, and holistic approaches are expressed in vital contemporary thematic sections: landscape politics, landscape planning and design, urban, natural, agricultural, and peri-urban landscapes, sustainable and resilient landscapes, territory/region, urban strategies, infrastructure and landscape, public space, green and blue infrastructures, parks and gardens, historical and cultural landscapes, landscape architecture and education.

We approach the landscape as a mirror of society, ecology, and culture, through education, research, and implemented projects, but also as a prism through which one can envision and realize the comprehensive regeneration of spaces at every scale, with increased social, ecological, and cultural value.

Just as the first conference opened perspectives for landscape architecture in Greece, we hope that the new conference will reflect our commitment to Landscape and its Design in the future, in accordance with the international commitments made.
