Day 2.1 Keynote: The role of GI standards in the promotion of healthy places
Summary
It will introduce the National Framework of GI Standards, a 25-Year Environment Plan commitment being developed by Natural England with stakeholders to help enhance the nation’s green infrastructure provision so that it can play a vital role in greening our towns and cities and in the nation’s green recovery from Covid-19. This session will also look at the evidence for the health and wellbeing benefits of green infrastructure. It will discuss the purpose, rationale and content of the emerging National Framework of GI Standards, process maps, GI’s mapping and analyses, design guidance and signposting to other relevant standards. You will get an awareness of the opportunities to use the National Framework of GI Standards by local authority planners, neighbourhood planning groups, developers and parks to enhance GI and to deliver health and wellbeing benefits and address inequalities as part of placemaking.
