Landscape architecture and peri-urban areas have a close relationship as landscape architects play a critical role in managing the growth and development of peri-urban areas. Peri-urban areas are transition zones between urban and rural areas, and they are subject to rapid and often unplanned development. Landscape architects can help create sustainable and livable peri-urban spaces by designing green infrastructure, planning for accessible public spaces, enhancing visual and ecological connectivity, promoting sustainable mobility, and preserving cultural heritage. Furthermore, landscape architects can work with the local communities to assess their needs and aspirations and translate them into design solutions that improve their quality of life. In summary, landscape architecture plays a vital role in shaping the peri-urban landscapes and creating healthy, sustainable, and resilient living environments.
