Landscape architecture and social sustainability in an age of uncertainty

This chapter addresses some of the current discourses in Landscape Architecture contextualising the vagueness of the concept of social sustainability within a state of Liquid Modernity. Through a discussion of three infrastructure-related concepts, The Right to Landscape, Green Infrastructure, and Landscape Urbanism, and their relevance to social sustainability, the chapter argues that understanding political drivers is inevitable and that there is a need for landscape architecture to engage, in a well-informed ethical debate on its stance toward social sustainability with integrity.
