The Roots of Our Excellence

While discussions about Nigeria's development often focus on engineering, architecture, economics, governance, or public policy, the landscape dimension - the very foundation upon which human activities, infrastructure, and communities exist remains largely overlooked. Yet landscapes influence virtually every aspect of national development. They shape how cities grow, how people move, how food is produced, how water is managed, how ecosystems function, and how communities adapt to climate change. From urban parks and streetscapes to highway corridors, waterfronts, agricultural lands, tourism destinations, and ecological systems, landscapes are critical assets that determine environmental quality, economic productivity, public health, and social well-being.

Founded by Nigeria's Landscape Architect Oluwole O. Ogunsajo, The Nigeria Landscape Series was established to bridge the gap between professional landscape knowledge and public understanding. The platform serves as a national voice for landscape-centered solutions to some of Nigeria's most pressing challenges, including urban heat, flooding, erosion, biodiversity loss, environmental degradation, insecurity, declining public spaces, and the growing impacts of climate change.

At its core, The Nigeria Landscape Series is more than a publication platform - it is a movement to elevate the role of landscape thinking in national discourse and decision-making. We believe that sustainable development cannot be achieved without understanding, protecting, and intelligently designing the landscapes that support human life and economic activity.

Through insightful articles, research-based discussions, professional commentary, and public engagement initiatives, The Nigeria Landscape Series seeks to demonstrate how landscape planning and design can contribute to building more resilient, productive, livable, and sustainable communities across Nigeria
