Ps. Sorry, we had a few technical difficulties and we weren't able to salvage the screen record of the Powerpoint presentation for this lecture.

"Is Landscape Architecture important in the developing world?"

Apologies for lack of audio with this presentation. Nat discussed the importance of the "Livelihood approach" to post disaster intervention. In particular environmental assets within disaster zone areas and the significance of landscape architecture for social and economic activity in areas of poverty. Regardless of economic status, people need space to express themselves freely and in this sense landscape has a very strong political and democratic importance. The presentation shows many case studies of how landscape is used effectively for urban development, improving livelihoods, communities and local quality of life.
