Green infrastructure (GI) is about fitting together a network of good quality parks, trees, woods, gardens, waterways, natural greenspace and green transport corridors. As such, GI connects urban environments with the wider countryside and helps make our communities more sustainable places to live. Our Green Infrastructure Experience: UE Associates regularly works on a range of land use planning projects, including green infrastructure and recreational strategies, to ensure that networks of high quality greenspace and other environmental features are strategically planned, mapped and delivered. For example, we have recently completed the sub-regional Green Infrastructure Strategy for 10 local authorities in Urban South Hampshire (PUSH). Delivering Green Infrastructure Strategies: GI has become the focus of regional and national policy and now needs to be translated at the sub-regional and local level throughout the UK. It has become increasingly important for local authorities to take GI into account in their LDF policies and plans. The best way of ensuring that GI matters are taken into consideration, is through the development of a GI Strategy. The aim of a GI strategy is to enhance, protect and reverse fragmentation of valuable GI resources. This is undertaken by thorough baseline research, GIS analysis and concerted stakeholder engagement in the study area. In our previous Green Infrastructure Projects, for example the Green Infrastructure Strategy for PUSH, we developed an inspiring vision and framework for GI in sub-region, and used GIS techniques to inform us of the drivers and issues for the area, and help us understand where GI initiatives should be planned in the future, and what form and prioritisation the initiatives should take.
