Green Infrastructure: An Integrated Approach to Land Use

Organization: Landscape Institute

Year of publication: 2013

Type of green infrastructure: All

Summary: This UK focused position statement demonstrates the contribution that GI can make to solving social, environmental, and economic problems, using the tools of planning policy and economic value in a world that requires facts and numbers to support what should be seen as common sense. Business, landowners and the environment need each other more than ever, and can gain most for us all when planned, designed, built and managed for their mutual benefit. The statement defines key terminology, describes co-benefits, and provides examples to support specific strategies and mechanisms for implementing GI.
