The built environment is continuously changing through multiple land development-and redevelopment-decisions. Public policies on housing, transportation, mortgage financing, and taxation, in conjunction with changing demographics and lifestyle preferences, are just some of the factors that influence the evolving structure and function of the built environment. Landscape architects can play important roles--through design, civic engagement, and policy advocacy--in making our cities and suburbs healthier and more sustainable. Studio projects focus on the central city and/or suburbs. ### requirements text LAND ARC 321 ### credit offering ids None recorded. ### llm job id enrich-8b774950c2b6adfdc46d1b82 ### llm output id
