Landscape architecture plays a crucial role in sustainable urban renewal as it helps in designing and creating green spaces that support ecological resilience and promote sustainability. It involves the use of urban design and planning principles that address social, environmental, and economic issues, such as reducing carbon footprint, improving air quality and water management, creating habitats for wildlife, promoting active transportation, and reducing urban heat island effect. Landscape architecture also aims to enhance the overall health and well-being of urban communities by providing access to nature and creating public spaces that encourage physical activity and social interaction. In sustainable urban renewal, landscape architecture promotes the integration of green infrastructure into the built environment, creating a more balanced and harmonious relationship between humans and nature.
