About AJLA

The African Journal of Landscape Architecture (AJLA) came about because of a perceived need for an authoritative journal on landscape architecture that can serve the profession as well as the needs of academia. AJLA is the official journal of IFLA Africa and is committed to stimulating content that promotes an extensive understanding of the field of landscape architecture across the African continent.

Mission of the Journal

AJLA is an e-journal to facilitate broad circulation among all interested parties, and notably the member associations of IFLA Africa, the mission being:

• to promote and enhance the education and practice of landscape architecture, with an emphasis on Africa;
• to provide critical discourse and relevant research, with opportunities for both general and peer-reviewed articles;
• to be cross-disciplinary, encouraging dialogue with related disciplines;
• to promote the purpose, aims and ambition of the African Landscape Convention.

The African Journal of Landscape Architecture is curated by the Editorial Panel. All articles, papers and opinions are contributed by guest authors and do not necessarily represent the view of the curators nor IFLA Africa.
