CSLA / APALA CONGRESS 2026

Location: Halifax Marriott Harbourfront Hotel

Theme – Blurred Edges: Celebrating Thresholds of Change

Shifting shorelines, expanding cities, landscapes on fire, and an evolving profession place landscape architects at thresholds of visible and urgent change. Coastlines transform, migration reshapes communities, and technology redefines our roles as professionals. We must respond with creativity, courage, and collaboration - expanding boundaries where inclusivity is needed, reinforcing resilience through flexible and layered systems, and cultivating edges as places of exchange, adaptation, and innovation.

Edges are spaces where diversity and intersection can thrive. Where resilience can grow not through resistance, but through adaptability. Justice and creativity emerge at these crossings, reminding us that inclusion is not about softening conflict but about designing for mutual success.

The 2026 CSLA-APALA Congress will explore boundaries as catalysts for new relationships. This theme brings us into the spaces between land and water, culture and nature, public and private, tradition and innovation and challenges us to embrace change as an opportunity.
