Day 3. 3 Let’s Build back Better!
Summary
More than ever, it is critical that nature-based solutions should be planned and designed as multifunctional components at the start of any development with collaboration of all stakeholders. Policies need to be framed to support longer term sustainable growth with investment needed in new mature GI and increased funding for maintenance of existing. This presentation will uncover how to work effectively with stakeholders from the outset to achieve a longterm vision. It will provide examples of case studies whereby Green Infrastructure has transformed high streets and public realm for the benefit of all. The session will then introduce GBU HQ and onsite manufacturing facility – including our NEW RootSpace Ocean – the only soil cell made using recycled ocean plastic waste.
