Abstract
Increased environmental and social risk, ubiquitous information technology, and growing demands for and growing threats to democracy and public participation will alter the education and practice of all the design professions and the geographically oriented sciences, and the ways in which their activities towards influencing environmental and social change are organized and carried out.

When I was initially contacted by the editors of this special issue of Land and asked to contribute a long paper on the theme of “Landscape Architecture Education and Professional Practice and Its. Future Challenges in Landscape Design, Planning, Conservation and Management”, my response was that I have thought about and written a lot on this theme in recent years.
