Pennine Lancashire Squared International Landscape Architecture Competition

Pennine Lancashire Squared is a multi-site international design competition which aims to develop six unique, high-profile public spaces in six of the towns of Pennine Lancashire. These new additions or improvements to the public realm will provide an inspirational environment for people to use and enjoy every day, and will also provide examples of world class landscape design. It is the intention of the organisers of the competition to develop the selected design for each site, subject to securing all funds, local authority consents, and planning permission. Should circumstances arise which would mean the organisers do not wish to proceed, they reserve the right not to build the final scheme.
