Abstract

Landscape architecture has a long history related to the planning and design of open spaces on an urban and territorial scale, integrating the ecological and cultural dimension that combines both a physical approach to the patterns and tangible components that are recognized in a given context, as well as a phenomenological approach to the processes that define the structure, functionality and change in the landscape. Based on the historical review of cases, the analysis of the international experience of the last decades and the evidence that the specialized literature offers, it is possible to argue that in the current scenarios of disturbances and vulnerabilities derived from urban expansion processes, climate change and disasters, landscape architecture can be understood as a multidisciplinary platform that articulates various fields of knowledge necessary to recognize, plan and design infrastructural systems for the resilience of territories and communities.
