In this handbook, 60 authors, senior and junior educators, and researchers from six continents provide an overview of 200 years of landscape architectural education. They tell the stories of schools and people, of visions, and of experiments that constitute landscape architecture education heritage.
Through taking an international perspective, the handbook centers inclusivity with an appreciation for how education develops in different political and societal contexts. Part I introduces the field of education history research, including research approaches and international research exchange. Spanning more than 100 years, Parts II and III investigate and compare early and recent histories of landscape architecture education in different countries and schools. In Part IV, the book offers new perspectives for landscape architecture education. Education research presents a substantial opportunity for challenging studies to increase the pedagogic and didactic, the academic and historic, and the disciplinary knowledge basis.
Through a boundary-crossing approach, these studies about landscape architecture education provide a reference to teachers and students, policymakers, and administrators, who strive for innovative, holistic, and interdisciplinary practice.

Reviews for The Routledge Handbook of Landscape Architecture Education
"""This book provides welcome perspectives on the education of landscape professionals that generate both a starting point for a more profound understanding of the historical position of landscape architecture, as well as ideas of where the profession might take us in view of the contemporary environmental and social challenges facing humanity."" Jan Woudstra, Department of Landscape Architecture, University of Sheffield, UK ""This comprehensive handbook shares insights into landscape architecture education that are unprecedented in extent and depth. It describes and compares concepts and practices of education that are applied during the last two hundred years and addresses a wide range of perspectives by examining cases from around the world. The book lays the foundation for education studies into the character, commonalities and future of landscape architecture education."" Hiroyuki Shimizu, Emeritus Professor, Nagoya University, Japan ""This handbook makes an invaluable contribution to the present and future university education of landscape architects. It offers fascinating insights of both the discipline's historical development and of its current teaching and learning praxis in many countries around the world: a panorama of today's remarkable international diversity in landscape architecture education that unveils its implicit learning potential, not only for landscape architecture but also for other planning disciplines and environmental sciences."" Joachim Wolschke-Bulmahn, Professor Emeritus, Instutute for Landscape Architecture, Leibniz University Hannover, Germany"
