The International Federation of Landscape Architects (IFLA) World Congress 2023 will be held as a concurrent event in Nairobi, Kenya and Stockholm, Sweden on 28th and 29th September 2023.
IFLA is a global body of landscape architects represented through national member associations spread through Africa, the Americas, Europe, Asia Pacific and the Middle East. IFLA’s mission is to promote the landscape architecture profession within a collaborative partnership of the allied built-environment professions. The Architectural Association of Kenya (AAK) is a member of IFLA.
The World Congress in both Sweden and Kenya will be open to both a physical and online audiences.
Due to economic and political barriers, participants from different parts of the world have in the past faced difficulties in participating in IFLA World Congresses. At the same time, countries where the profession is already strong have dominated as host countries, which has resulted in a strongly limited global perspective and presence. These realities informed the decision to stage dual hosting.
The IFLA Congress in Nairobi will run together with the annual AAK annual convention that is normally held around this time of the year.
