TOP UK Universities Rankings for Urban and Landscape Design 2025

TOP UK Universities Rankings for Urban and Landscape Design 2025

Urban studies - the science of cities, planning, optimization of the functioning of urban systems, land use, transport infrastructure, ecology. Urbanism deals with already built cities (as opposed to urban planning) and deals with the complex solution of urban problems. The beginning of urbanism as a science is considered the opening of the Department of Urban Planning at the University of London in the early 20th century.

Urbanism in the UK has a deep humanitarian foundation. Students are taught that all changes must be approved by residents of the city or region, the interests of different groups must be taken into account. The search for consensus can be long and difficult, but British urbanists see it as a necessity.

Landscape design (landscape architecture) is a related discipline. The main task of landscape design is to reconcile urban architecture with nature, to create a comfortable and beautiful urban environment. The profession of a landscape architect overlaps with the profession of a landscape designer, but there are differences: a landscape architect deals with large spaces, knows the hardscape design better (paved roads, bridges, stone structures); the landscape designer uses more softscape (green spaces). In large projects, these specialists work together.

Education in the field of urbanism, landscape design, landscape architecture at British universities has a long history, and it is a success story. Specialists with their diplomas are in demand on all continents, as British universities successfully combine high-quality theoretical training with practical training.
