Arup’s landscape architects create thoughtful, sustainable and award-winning landscape designs for people and nature. From concept to delivery, we work on a diverse range of projects at all scales and geographies. Contemporary landscape design must tackle many pressing challenges and central to Arup’s approach is creating inspiring and welcoming places that are well designed and stand the test of time. At their heart are strategies that deliver healthier cities, greater biodiversity, resilience to climate change and sustainable resource management.

We are passionate about making meaningful, resilient and memorable experiences through exciting ways of combining landscape design with sustainable technologies to get people closer to natural environments. Our design inspiration comes from a blend of creativity and context. We embed our projects in the identity of place, complementary to existing character yet expressing a particular identity that we can use throughout the design to create a distinctive sense of place.
