What is the role of environmental remediation in landscape architecture?

The role of environmental remediation in landscape architecture is to restore and improve the natural environment by identifying and addressing the negative impacts of human activities. Landscape architects can integrate remediation into their design process to create sustainable and functional outdoor spaces that benefit both the environment and people. This involves assessing the site's environmental conditions, such as soil quality, water quality, and biodiversity, and developing strategies to mitigate any existing issues. Remediation can include activities such as soil stabilization, erosion control, bioengineering, and habitat restoration, among others. By incorporating remediation practices, landscape architects can create landscapes that promote sustainable living, protect the environment, and improve the quality of life for communities.
