In recent years, the rapid development of urbanization in China and the concern of the whole society for ecological civilization have given birth to the upsurge of landscape architecture specialty. The strong demand for talents has brought about the great development of landscape architecture specialty. Agriculture, forestry, architectural arts and even the College of Geography and Biology have set up landscape architecture majors. At present, there are 150 universities in China whose undergraduate major is landscape architecture, and there are countless colleges at the specialist level. Wang Shaozeng, editor-in-chief of China Landscape Architecture magazine and professor of South China Agricultural University, said that rapid development and overheating will inevitably lead to a decline in the quality of training, which will affect the academic reputation of the major and the employment of graduates. He believes that the urgent task is to formulate strict professional standards as soon as possible and carry out qualification evaluation and level evaluation of landscape architecture specialty.
Therefore, it is of great significance to summarize the landscape discipline of colleges and universities and provide reference for the majority of college entrance examination candidates to choose institutions, design, architecture, real estate and government employers.
