Abstract
Low impact urban design and development (LIUDD) emerged as an approach promoting urban development while reducing its negative impact on the natural environment, especially on the natural hydrology cycle. While the object being concerned (i.e., the natural hydrology cycle) is universal, the processes and steps taken for reducing urban development negative impact on it as promoted by LIUDD are supposedly contextualized to the place where LIUDD is conceived, that is New Zealand. This article explores the adaptation and application of LIUDD done jointly by Argentinian and Indonesian landscape architecture students when intervening a naturally flooded area and designing a flood park in Resistencia, Chaco, Argentina. This article was written through a qualitative and descriptive research. The design process and outcomes were analysed using the LIUDD process and design principles as the framework. It is found that designing properly following the LIUDD process requires extensive data on the natural environment that are not always easily available for the Resistencia context. However, the LIUDD design principles are rather universal and can be adapted to the Resistencia context.
