Garden cities:
•Well designed buildings and landscape•High proportion of social housing•Healthy green spaces•Space to grow food•Access to jobs, social life, culture

• Parks: • individual sites managed for
amenity…
• Green infrastructure: • networks of green spaces,
trees, green roofs, river corridors etc managed to maximise sustainable drainage, urban cooling, active transport, public health…
Parks or green infrastructure?
![Page 21: Health and Horticulture Conference: Session 2](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030307/58e8a4501a28abda4f8b4579/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• Challenges:
• Housing shortage – pressure to build homes not parks
• Council budget cuts – incentive to sell land• Developers’ profits – green space seen as costly

• Opportunities:
• Obesity crisis – parks get people active• Flooding – vegetation reduces water run-off• Developers’ profits – green space starting to
be seen as an asset

• Opportunities:
• The planning system can ensure that money from developments are used to fund the creation and maintenance of parks and green spaces.
• Both ‘section 106’ and CIL money can be used.

The garden is a place of pleasure, filled with joy, but it resounds in love, laments of poets; it is a refuge for private meditation; it is a place for feasts, entertainment for friends, a place of sexual and intellectual freedom, a setting for philosophical discussions, and a restorative for both the body and soul. It is a well ordered model of the universe, an experiment in immortality a never ending apparition of spring. It assumes the function of a sculpture gallery, a horticultural encyclopaedia, a centre of botanical and medical research, and a theatre for fantastic imitation. Finally it is a perpetual source of moral instruction.
