The world’s leading architectural and landscape architectural firms, planners, contractors and developers are set to share their visions and expertise at an upcoming landscaping event in Abu Dhabi.

Gulf Landscaping 2010 will be hosted at Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Centre (Adnec) from March 29 to 31.

With high profile multi-billion dollar developments in Abu Dhabi currently including Reem Island, Al Raha Beach and Building Materials City, Gulf Landscaping will engage the sector in the region at all levels, a statement said.
