Landscape analysis and long term vision for campus Alnarp

The presentation will be in English

Alnarp is more than a lush leisure landscape in the midst of the increasingly urbanised Öresund region, it is also a University location with facilities for teaching, research and collaborations – and many of them are situated outdoors: the Horticultural Laboratory, the Landscape Laboratory, the Arboretum, other experimental sites and green labs including the surrounding agricultural land.

This campus currently hosts about 1000 students and several world class research groups. It aims at developing further into a unique venue for students, scientists and society actors, a Green Living Laboratory for sustainable development and innovation on regional, national, and international levels. Desvigne Paysagiste from Paris to elaborate a landscape study in support of the campus's long-term spatial development. MDP's principal Michel Desvigne will present this study on 27th of January

In Sweden, he is known for his strategic study of Nya Årstafältet in Stockholm.
