What we are celebrating
This award celebrates the landscape professional’s role in sustainable built infrastructure schemes. This may be across energy, digital, utilities, waste, or transport. It may be linear schemes, such as railway verges or individual sites, such as a port, solar farm, or waste site. It may be anything from an early stage assessment to a built–out place (NB: This excludes water and flooding schemes, which should be entered in the Excellence in Flood and Water Management category).
This award is open to different types of landscape works, including (but not necessarily limited to):
- Assessment or research
- Planning document
- Design: concept/outline
- Design: detailed/technical
- Design implementation
- Management strategy
