Jacqueline Osty is a Paris-based landscape architect and founder of Atelier Jacqueline Osty & Associés, established in 1985. A graduate of the National School of Landscape Architecture in Versailles, she taught at the National School of Nature and Landscape in Blois from 2004 to 2019. Her work is widely recognised for integrating heritage, urban, and environmental concerns through a highly contextual approach that moves fluently between territorial scale and detailed design.

Osty has realised a wide range of major public projects across France, including urban parks, public spaces, and large-scale urban transformations. Key works include Saint-Pierre Park in Amiens, Bonne Park in Grenoble, Martin Luther King Park in Paris (Clichy-Batignolles), the Paris Zoological Park, and the Presqu’île Rollet riverfront in Rouen. Her public space and promenade projects include the Bellecour and Jacobins Squares in Lyon, the promenades of Reims, the historic boulevards of Chartres, and the seafront of Les Sables d’Olonne. The studio is also engaged in major urban planning projects such as the Flaubert eco-district in Rouen, the Île de Nantes urban project, and the Grand Canal Park in Toulouse.

For this body of work, Jacqueline Osty has received numerous distinctions, including the Urban Planning Prize (Parks and Gardens) in 1994, the National Landscape Grand Prize in 2005 for Saint-Pierre Park in Amiens and again in 2018 for the Seine riverbank developments in Rouen, the National Eco-district Prize in 2009, and the Landscape Victory Prize in 2012. In recognition of her lasting contribution to urban design, she was awarded the Grand Prize for Urban Planning in 2020.
