15 Jun 2021
Online
An equalities perspective is founded on recognising difference and providing resources equitably in ways that respond to it. The session will illustrate a framework for review of equalities impacts both formal and informal, for landscape policies, programming, management and design for parks and open spaces, with the aim of creating more equitable inclusive places. The speaker will present evidence relating to different needs and experiences of open space for a range of characteristics protected under the Equalities Act 2010 centring on characteristics of Race & Religion.
It will then provide an evidence for the value of urban greenspace in the lives of young people, specifically in relation to mental health.
Dr Farnaz Ganji will then present learning about application of ethnographic research and mapping methods to inform urban design.
