Landscape Institute has published a new report which aims to inspire people to make positive changes in their neighbourhoods by thinking about the potential offered by the natural environment and integrating this into the way places are planned, designed and managed. The current interest in local empowerment and decision-making offers good opportunities for action and the publication presents eight cases studies where green infrastructure has been woven into the fabric of local communities. They reveal the potential of green infrastructure to bring a wide range of benefits, including: enabling wildlife to flourish, reducing our contribution to climate change, reducing the risk of flooding, providing space to grow food and learn, weaving together local communities, and delivering multiple economic benefits.
