Organized by the French Federation of Landscape Architects (FFP, Fédération Française du Paysage), the 61st World Congress of the International Federation of Landscape Architecture (IFLA) will take place in Nantes, France, from September 10-12, 2025, under the theme "Guiding Landscapes."

Attendees will include practitioners, researchers, businesses, educators, students, and journalists, as well as anyone interested in the impact of landscape architecture on society, economy, and culture.

This three-day event will showcase inspiring conferences and presentations, professional visits, technical exhibition and social events and excursions, with a special focus on highlighting the Nantes region and France.

Participants will have the opportunity to explore sustainable and inclusive urban solutions, drawing inspiration from Nantes' reputation as an open urban laboratory. The city's innovative approaches to creating resilient urban districts, improving soil health, and developing urban biodiversity will serve as practical examples of landscape architecture's role in addressing major climate challenges.

The IFLA WORLD 2025 congress is an opportunity to share best practices and insights from practitioners and researchers around the world, aiming to make the actions of landscape architects and associated professionals even more virtuous and effective.
