IABR–2014–URBAN BY NATURE–, curated by landscape architect Dirk Sijmons, claims that we can only resolve the world’s environmental problems if we solve the problems of the city. Looking through the lens of landscape architecture, IABR–2014– redefines the way we deal with urban challenges by analyzing the relationship between urban society and nature, and between city and landscape.

This 6th edition of the biennale argues that, perhaps now more than ever, the city is an integral part of one huge urban landscape, a complex system that has become our natural environment. This point of departure has many implications for the way we plan and design our urban environment and it opens up possibilities to develop spatial interventions that make use of its metabolism. Applying new strategies that effectively address the city as the larger urban landscape that it is, we can make the city more resilient and thus truly contribute to a more sustainable future world.
