Well-designed urban landscapes bring people closer to nature, promote happiness, health, and can reduce stress and inequalities. Despite the wealth of evidence that backs up why urban nature is good for us, there is little evidence on how specific landscape designs and green spaces provide value to local communities.
The Aewell impact assessment framework and toolkit builds long-standing evidence on how your landscape designs, green spaces, and nature engagement activities can deliver health and wellbeing benefits to the local community in the short, medium, and long term. It has been designed by Tranquil City in partnership with the University of Surrey’s Environmental Psychology Research Group, and supported by Natural England, Innovate UK and the British Academy.
In this webinar recording, learn how to apply the toolkit to your projects, helping you provide robust evidence on how your designs support health, wellbeing, and nature connection at the individual and community level. By doing so, you can demonstrate to your clients how your designs deliver on their social value, ESG and public health policy aims, whilst also providing a clear return on investment.
