Ny Agenda 2 gør status over de bedste danske landskabsprojekter gennemført i perioden 2009-13, og danner fortsættelse af Ny Agenda, der udkom i 2009 og beskriver de foregående 5 år.Klimatilpasning er højt landskabsarkitekternes dagsorden, fordi landskabsarkitekten her kan forene nytte i form af f.eks. vandafledning, som er langt billigere end kloakering, med skønhed og naturoplevelser eller, som det er sket i Lemvig, med en stormflodssikring, der bliver en strukturerende, forskønnende og praktisk anvendelig del af havnemiljøet. Desuden indrettes by- og landskabs- og vandrum, så de appellerer til fysisk aktivitet og interaktion. Temaer som ”dyrk din by” og andre borgerinddragende projekter, udvikles i disse år, hvortil kommer forsøg med temporære landskabelige anlæg med begrebet ”midlertidighed” som en ny metode til udvikling af nye byområder som f.eks. Fredericias forladte industrihavn.Endelig er revitalisering og genfortolkning af vores historiske arv et stort emne som Fredensborg Slotshave, Odense Slotspark, herregårdshaver, Kronborg etc.Landskabsfaget holder stadig fast i de dyder, som gjorde Danmark internationalt kendt, men føjer nye aspekter til paletten, der viser et fag, der har erobret sin selvstændighed efter i mange år at have stået i anden række efter bygningsarkitekterne.
