Ecological and Landscape Regeneration > Collaborative Landscape Design
Collaborative Landscape Design
Collaborative Landscape Design brings communities, stakeholders and land stewards into the co-creation of regenerative landscapes. It integrates ecological insight with participatory processes to ensure that design is socially grounded and collectively supported.
When is it relevant?
This work is relevant when multiple actors share responsibility for a landscape — such as municipalities, community groups, landowner networks, or territorial initiatives — and alignment is needed around vision, priorities, and action.
What do we do?
We design and facilitate participatory processes that combine ecological assessment with collective visioning, mapping, and decision-making. Through workshops, field-based sessions, and structured dialogue, we support groups in co-designing landscape strategies that are both ecologically grounded and socially inclusive.
Typical outcomes
- Shared regenerative landscape vision and strategies
- Common design frameworks and language
- Strengthened alignment of interested parties
- Increased long-term commitment and stewardship
How is learning embedded?
Participation becomes a learning process. Stakeholders deepen ecological literacy, understand systemic interdependencies, and build shared ownership of the design. Learning happens through dialogue, field observation, and collective reflection.
Example Project
Collaborative Landscape Design Process with the Ecology Group of a Community in the Alentejo
In a rural intentional community, we facilitated a collaborative landscape process that aligned ecologists, designers, gardeners, seed and bee keepers, animal communicators, and care takers around a comprehensive diagnose, shared identity of place, and aligned strategies and stewardship model for biodiversity restoration, water resilience strategies, landscape healing and cultural systems change.
