Urban Landscape Summit
University of Florida researchers, community developers, landscape architects, government agencies and many others explore how to build resiliency through water conservation.
Plan to join us in 2026!
The Urban Landscape Summit brings together leading experts, scientists, industry professionals, state agencies and utility providers to discuss the ways to build water supply resiliency with Florida Landscapes.
The 2024 summit opened with research updates from UF/IFAS faculty in areas ranging from landscape design and reclaimed water to consumer preferences and landscape alternatives to turfgrass. There were student poster presentations before lunch, the opportunity to judge posters during lunch and the day wrapped up with presentations from external partners about the challenges facing their industry, agency and all of Florida to conserve water. The second day included two panels featuring developers, builders and water management professionals with a facilitated discussion about the future of Florida water.
The summit is held every two years. Join other IFAS researchers, community developers, landscape architects, government agencies, and many others in 2026 as we explore how to build resiliency through water conservation.
