IFLA Meeting Zürich

Recently the International Federation of Landscape Architects (IFLA) held its World Council meeting in Zürich, Switzerland. For this meeting AIPH Secretary General, Mr Sjaak Langeslag, was invited to give an presentation about AIPH.

Since the first contacts between IFLA and AIPH were established in 2010 both organisations are looking for opportunities for more cooperation. In his presentation Mr. Langeslag explained the origin of, and developments within AIPH and specifically elaborated on the Green City concept and the Horticultural Exhibitions which might be of special interest to the landscape architects who are united in IFLA. The presentation was received well by the participants and contacts were extended. The common objectives to improve the quality level of landscape and garden design in relation to green living environment and exhibitions, and increased knowledge of horticultural products to be used were shared. Within IFLA a draft MOU was discussed and this will be sent to AIPH for discussion during the AIPH annual congress in September 2011 in Xi’an, China.
