The landscape management subject focuses on how urban open space management such as vegetation, water and soil contributes to biodiversity, climate change adaptation and ecosystem services.
A vital part of the research and education is how designoriented maintenance affects biodiversity, experience-values, and creates conditions for outdoor recreation and play among different ages and social contexts.
Both research and education is highly connected to practice with close collaboration with municipals, private consultancies, national agencies and international research networks inked to landscape management.
The subject area is highly transdisciplinary, including landscape architecture, urban ecology, history, planning, design, and environmental psychology. More specifically how management and maintenance of urban green affects children’s play, raingarden functions, establishment of large trees, human health from nature, light pollutions, biochar-based plant beds, multifunctional storm water parks and future visions of management and governance.
