Organized by the French Federation of Landscape Architects (FFP, Fédération Française du Paysage), the 61st World Congress of the International Federation of Landscape Architecture (IFLA) will take place in Nantes, France, from September 10-12, 2025, under the theme "Guiding Landscapes". Landscape architects play a key role in adapting cities to climate change at a variety of scales. Planning, conceiving, and managing new resilient urban districts, reorganizing the public realm by reopening soils, increasing rainwater infiltration, and developing urban biodiversity to cool cities are all essential challenges.

Presentation

The IFLA World congress is recognized as the largest annual gathering for the landscape architecture profession. It offers a unique platform for professional development and networking, bringing together over a thousand participants from around the world.
 
Organized by the French Federation of Landscape Architects (FFP, Fédération Française du Paysage), the 61st World Congress of the International Federation of Landscape Architecture (IFLA) will take place in Nantes, France, from September 10-12, 2025, under the theme "Guiding Landscapes".
This event will take place under the High Patronage of Mr Emmanuel MACRON President of the French Republic
 
Attendees will include practitioners, researchers, businesses, educators, students, and journalists, as well as anyone interested in the impact of landscape architecture on society, economy, and culture.
This three-day event will showcase inspiring conferences and presentations, professional visits, technical exhibition and social events and excursions, with a special focus on highlighting the Nantes region and France.
 
Participants will have the opportunity to explore sustainable and inclusive urban solutions, drawing inspiration from Nantes' reputation as an open urban laboratory
The city's innovative approaches to creating resilient urban districts, improving soil health, and developing urban biodiversity will serve as practical examples of landscape architecture's role in addressing major climate challenges. Understanding soil and its conditions is the first step in assessing a location’s potential for ecological and sustainable projects. This will be one of the key aspects we explore during our visits to Nantes. Nantes has undergone significant urban transformations that have gained international recognition. One notable example is the “Plan Guide” for Ile de Nantes, an experimental landscape urbanism project that initiated discussions about the role of our profession in urban planning. Numerous landscape architects have worked in France and in the Nantes region and are excited to share their experiences with you.

Program

The 61st IFLA World Congress will feature plenary talks, keynote lectures, oral and poster presentations, an exhibit area for industry partners and sponsors, and an entertaining social program. The event layout and schedule will provide many opportunities to network and share with colleagues from around the world.

Congress topic

Organisers

International Federation of Landscape Architects (IFLA)

IFLA is the only international non-governmental organisation dedicated to promoting the profession of landscape architecture and advancing the quality and sustainability of built and natural environments worldwide. IFLA is the body that represents 80 national professional member organisations across five regions (IFLA Africa, IFLA Americas, IFLA Asia-Pacific, IFLA Europe and IFLA Middle East) and more than 100,000 landscape architects worldwide. Our mission is to promote the landscape architecture profession within a collaborative partnership with the built environment professions, demanding the highest standards of education, training, research and professional practice and providing leadership and stewardship in all matters. As a global federation, IFLA’s allies are international bodies like the United Nations, its agencies, and other built environment international organisations.

Fédération Française du Paysage (FFP)

The Fédération Française du Paysage (FFP) is the national association representing landscape architects, most of whom hold the title of “paysagiste concepteur” (landscape architect), a title that recognizes the profession under the law for the reconquest of biodiversity, nature and landscapes.
It has over 700 landscape designer members who hold a higher diploma in landscape design issued by a French public establishment of higher education in landscape design, as well as people who have had their professional experience recognized by the French Ministry of Ecological and Solidarity Transition (i.e. almost one professional in three).
