In October 2011 Graham Young will be traveling to the USA to deliver a series of lectures and participate in landscape architecture design studios with undergraduate and post-graduate students. He has been invited, through the Visiting Scholar Programme, to the University of Rhode Island, Providence, Rhode Island. He will deliver a public lecture on the development of Freedom Park as well as a series of lectures to the landscape architecture programme that will focus on some of NLA's work. He will also present research on 'landscape as narrative' done through the University of Pretoria. The NLA projects will include the proposed Johannesburg Inner City Park and the parks than NLA have designed in Soweto and other township areas, with the focus on community factors in the planning, design and implementation of the parks.
