ABOUT

In Japan, our predecessors have promoted Japan's presence in the world by organizing the World Congresses in 1964 and 1985, and the Asia-Pacific Regional Congress in 2000.
In November 2023, we, Japan Landscape Architects Union (JLAU), will host the Asia-Pacific Regional Congress in Tokyo, Japan.

The Asia-Pacific region, which is developing rapidly, faces a variety of challenges, including environmental issues. Japan, as a member of the Asia-Pacific region, is committed to finding solutions to these issues while maintaining friendly relations with other countries. As a member of the Asia-Pacific region, Japan will lead the international conference to a success and further improve the social status of landscape architects.

The Japan Landscape Architects Union (JLAU), together with the countries of the Asia-Pacific region (IFLA-APR) belonging to the International Federation of Landscape Architects (IFLA), will hold an international conference in Japan on November 16, 2023 to discuss the prospects and strategies for the era of climate change. I would like to share with you my thoughts on the conference and introduce the role that Japanese landscape architects should play in the global community, as the Chair of the IFLA-APR 2023 Tokyo, Japan Conference Organizing Committee under Yoshiki Toda, President of JLAU. After that, if you check the program to be offered at the Japan Congress, you should be able to grasp the overall picture of the international conference that we, JLAU, are trying to achieve.
