Landscapes for People and Planet

How have women and children shaped the landscapes we live in today? This lecture explores the pioneering work of Brenda Colvin and Marjory Allen, two key female thinkers in post-war Britain, who championed the idea of involving children in designing and caring for their local environments. Their vision of urban and green spaces was not just about aesthetics but about fostering sustainability, agency, and community.

Drawing on the concept of ‘care’ as a driving force for sustainability and environmental responsibility, Professor Luca Csepely-Knorr will connect historical examples of housing and public landscapes from Britain’s post-war Welfare State with today’s urgent climate and biodiversity challenges. Can these past ideas inspire more inclusive and sustainable urban spaces for the future?
