What do the Versailles gardens and New Yorks Central Park have in common?
Modern urban planning has increased the role of landscape architects in metropolitan design. Landscape designers construct parks, university campuses, public gardens, resorts, cemeteries, waterfront areas, and more. They may also help to protect and restore natural treasures, such as wetlands, deforested spaces, and mined areas. Landscape architects work in concert with architects, city planners, and other professionals to carry out their design plans.
