Making it home: Creating a hospitable landscape. Landscape architects are ideally placed to create a welcoming environment for everyone, from tourist, refugee and visitor to pedestrian or cyclist. The welcome may be developed through signage systems, cartography, planting, or a hard landscape with materials that carefully offer a route and a navigation through the city. The creation of maps and signpost schemes offer a form of welfare, an embrace of the visitor that says, 'you are welcome in this place'. The journal considers a childhood experience of learning to cycle in North London, a UNESCO-supported child-friendly landscape in Ilford and celebrates the unsettling life of the City of London bollard.
