Planning for Urban Greenspaces

Adams, David; Hardman, Michael; Larkham, Peter; Lamond, Rob

Abstract

There are repeated and sustained calls for policies, funding initiatives and endeavours to address ongoing concerns regarding the impact of climate change, biodiversity loss and the general depletion of nature. These are globally significant issues and positive, sustainable planning interventions can play a significant role in creating better places for flora and fauna, people, and the wider environment. Such global ambitions expounded in the United Nations Sustainability Goals need locally implementable actions, and many policy measures and initiatives have been developed to resolve the ‘nature crisis'.
