New Year’s greetings from the summery Southern Hemisphere!

This No. 80 issue of IFLA News brings together articles from some of the many partners with which IFLA enjoys important and productive relations. Our authors probe the future for developments they see as important in 2009, and the part that IFLA, its members, and all with a concern for the environment can play towards achieving common goals.

At the transition from one year to the next, we also look back to some events that took place towards the end of 2008. Reports of these show the enthusiasm and diligence with which the development and practice of landscape architecture
are being pursued worldwide. This is a bumper issue of IFLA News to allow the spanning of both the recent past events and the future; Issue No. 81 will return to a more typical length to focus attention on Cultural Landscapes.
