Making my Mark on the land

One of the major reasons for choosing Landscape Architecture was the fact that as I grew up there were alot of regeneration going on in local area which I often had chances to air my views and participate in ideas for change in the Landscape. I always thought I wish I could design a local park in an estate and I guess that is just an element of what I am looking forward to being a part of.
This is why I am not only going to look at Landscape Architecture firms to apply to but also local councils.

There are a lot of regeneration schemes underway throughout London Boroughs for exapmle there are plans to create a new city farm in Tottenham, a major parks regeneration project with £311,000 which has been invested into by the concil's Cabinet.

The city farm is just one element in the council’s plan
s to transform Lordship Recreation Ground into one of the most popular parks in London.
