When and why was the ILA Institute of Landscape Architects UK founded? Q&A

Answer: a UK society for landscape architects was first proposed, by Thomas Mawson, in 1911, to undertake town planning work. The UK Institute of Landscape Architects was founded in 1929, to design public parks and, after 1940, to deal with a wide range of public projects (including new towns, roads, forestry, mineral extraction etc).
