With space and land at a premium in cities around the world, the need to make the case for green infrastructure and SUDs\/LID<\/a> has never been greater. Land use varies and clients and landowners will have diverse needs and a variety of ambitions and aspirations for the final result of their site.<\/p>\n

We often try to reduce the integration of landscape into crude monetary terms which in many instances lacks the accuracy and broad ranging scope to represent the true value of a holistic green and blue infrastructure<\/strong> approach. Whilst we can all look to natural capital accounting and software available on the market to value our canopy cover and the role urban trees play, here at GreenBlue Urban we want to provide a comprehensive overview of the value delivered when urban trees and SUDs<\/a> are successfully integrated:<\/p>\n

MODAL SHIFT<\/span><\/h5>\n

Places where communities can thrive in which cycling and walking are encouraged through the provision of tree lined conduits through the development.<\/p>\n

St Leonard’s Circus – Shared Space, promotes Modal Shift<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
AIR QUALITY<\/span><\/h5>\n

People are increasingly concerned with the quality of the very thing that ensures we can survive \u2013 our air. By having the choice of species that can be planted into our systems, developers\/landowners can be confident that their landscape can reflect a planting arrangement and tree species selection that mitigates the effects of pollution.<\/p>\n

PLACEMAKING AT EVERY SCALE<\/span><\/h5>\n

Whether a small development or a larger master plan, work with us to ensure that an engineered, long term\u00a0tree pit solution works for your scheme. OFFSET or LINKED tree pits<\/a>, we can contribute to the quality of the project at every stage.<\/p>\n

NATURAL PLAY<\/span><\/h5>\n

Family homes and future communities are distinguished by the provision of safe, aesthetic spaces for children.<\/strong> On new developments, larger family homes are desirable and for any developer, they want to see \u2018lifestyle\u2019 being marketed. A \u2018lifestyle\u2019 for new and growing families is a key part of this.<\/p>\n

AMENITY<\/span><\/h5>\n

We all know that real estate prices are increased through proximity to greenspace. Using space saving SUDS\/LID tree pit<\/strong> will provide amenity and manage surface water runoff simultaneously at a fraction of the cost of doing landscape and water management separately.\u00a0 Adding value long term and<\/span> promoting social well being.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Urban Trees transform The Angel Building and enable social cohesion<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
HEALTH AND WELL-BEING<\/span><\/h5>\n

Physical and mental well-being is a growing area of research in relation to new developments and many local authorities around the world are undertaking more stringent assessment of the impact of development to include green infrastructure<\/strong> on health and well-being – Garden Cities are a testament to this.<\/p>\n

SAVING SPACE AND MULTIFUNCTIONALITY \u2013 THE GREENBLUE WAY<\/span><\/h5>\n

With this in mind, GreenBlue Urban are here to support the successful design and implementation of high-quality landscaping schemes that require minimal maintenance with maximum results.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Clients we work with have a desire to BUILD BRAND<\/strong> and RESPOND<\/strong> to\u00a0 customer and end-user demands for a more sustainable future.<\/p>\n

For example, our BREEAM<\/strong> Case Study with Marks and Spencer<\/a>, assessed by AECOMAs Steve Rowe, CEO of M&S states:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe our customers and society more broadly do care about the future. But most people feel that the issues facing our planet are too big, too distant and too difficult for them to influence personally. They expect big business, government, NGOs and other organisations to tackle these issues on their behalf. We believe there is an untapped need in society for businesses to do more than merely re-assure in a distant paternalistic way.\u00a0 We believe there is a desire amongst people for a very different approach to business. Trust is becoming one of the most important building blocks of a successful business. It is no longer enough for\u00a0 a company to hope or assume it is trusted, it must offer society a clear, measurable \u2018social dividend\u2019 to earn and retain people\u2019s trust\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
