By 2050, 75 percent of the people will be living in cities. Thus the working field of landscape architects is and will be the ever-growing urban environment. Living with nature is the new global challenge. How would we design an environment if we perceive human development as a way of enhancing the biodiversity? How can human development contribute to the sustainability of biodiversity including but not limited to the economic benefits?

The EMiLA Summer School 2017 is projecting this challenge on the new National Park New Land in the Netherlands.

National Park New Land: the Marker Wadden

Making land has been the core of the history of the people and land in the Netherlands. Ground is dug by people’s hands; a unique play of man and nature, where man creates and strengthens nature, and vice versa.
