Great cities happen when we Capitalize Design.
Twenty years ago, the Council for Canadian Urbanism met in Ottawa to advance the national conversation on urban design by exploring the proximity, the mix, and the commons that can make Canadian cities work. This fall, facing new challenges and equipped with new energy, the Council returns to Ottawa to host Capitalizing Design: three days of collaboration, learning, and candid conversations.
The ASLA Conference on Landscape Architecture is the largest annual gathering of landscape architecture and allied professionals—all coming together to learn, connect, share knowledge, gain inspiration, and bring value to their practice. The conference offers sessions, professional development, networking opportunities, and a world-class EXPO featuring over 300 vendors showcasing cutting-edge products and services.
The second 2026 Virtual Oberlander Prize Forum will be a conversational webinar with Mexican landscape architect Mario Schjetnan—winner in 2025 of the Cornelia Hahn Oberlander International Landscape Architecture Prize and founder of Grupo de Diseño Urbano—and María Bellalta, exploring Mario’s legacy, ethos, and the state of landscape architecture education—across Latin America and the Global South.
