Abstract
This report aims to provide built environment professionals with case study insights into the nature of GI decision making. Insights are shared from the project teams and stakeholders involved. These cover the GI benefits attained, the decision making process followed and the barriers, solutions and lessons learned. This report explores five Green Infrastructure (GI) case studies; Marks & Spencer Newcastle, Wild West End, Victory Oak, Kingsbrook and City of Trees.
This report was prepared with funding from the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) by the UK Green Building Council (UKGBC) with the University of Manchester and the University of Sheffield as part of project NE/N01748/1. The report compliments other outputs produced as part of the project. These include:
• Practical how-to guide: Developing and implementing a green infrastructure strategy
• Understanding Green Infrastructure at Different Scales
The reports also features a ‘Green Infrastructure Best Practice: Route Map’. This provides a synthesis of the current GI best practice which applies to different decision making stages in the development life cycle. This was created based on interview centred research conducted for the Green Growth Project and follows the key steps set out in the Practical How-to-Guide.
