The first rule: don’t dare call them gardens. These are sophisticated landscapes integrating — and enhancing — institutions’ missions while also encouraging education, sustainability and a much-needed sense of civic welcome.</p></em><br /><br /><p><a href="https://archinect.com/news/tag/785845/sam-lubell" target="_blank">Sam Lubell</a> of the <em>New York Times </em>talks to <a href="https://archinect.com/news/tag/158552/walter-hood" target="_blank">Walter Hood</a>, <a href="https://archinect.com/firms/cover/2495277/johnson-fain" target="_blank">William Fain</a>, and <a href="https://archinect.com/news/tag/1052666/kate-orff" target="_blank">Kate Orff</a> for a survey focused on the expanding role of <a href="https://archinect.com/news/tag/73524/landscape-architecture" target="_blank">landscape architecture</a> in major American cultural sector projects. </p>
<p>He says: "The ascension of landscape in the museum world shows no signs of abating."

<p>"Museums are places where you can say something about the culture. Where we can begin to vet some of these things that we don’t want to talk about. It goes back to the idea of these being the new civic spaces, where honest conversations can be had," Walter Hood told him.

<p><em>Urban Land</em>'s Bennett Voyles <a href="https://urbanland.uli.org/public/new-space-for-an-old-city/" target="_blank">reports</a> that "after 3,400 years, Athens will soon get its first big park [...] When completed in 2030, Ellinikon Metropolitan Park will be 600 acres (243 ha), about three-fourths the size of New York City’s Central Park, an enormous addition of public green space that may prove as important to Athenians as Central Park is to New Yorkers."</p>

<p>The project aims to reimagine the Noviotech Campus by unifying the currently disjointed campus buildings and adding new buildings in the empty spaces between them while merging the site into the surrounding city. The design team says it's taking an “ecology-first” approach by transforming the campus into a nature-inclusive landscape that connects the neighboring Goffertpark, one of the city’s largest green spaces, and the adjacent Jonkerbos War Cemetery to designated green corridors nearby. </p>

<p>The $369 billion bill includes many grants and other types of funding for a host of green GSA-owned properties, Federal Highway Administration projects, and affordable housing developments.

<p>Among the relevant provisions included in the overall package are:</p>
<ul><li>More than $4.5 billion to be directed toward water infrastructure (dams, water treatment facilities, etc.). This includes the $4 billion in drought relief funds, another $15 million to "provide technical assistance for climate change planning, mitigation, adaptation, and r...</li></ul>

Bike and pedestrian lanes were also added to meet this goal. <br></p>
