UNITED KINGDOM (UK) - resources include case studies and more detailed discussions of GI resources

Over the last 12 months there has been a major upturn in the number of organisations, Local Authorities and NGO’s using GI or GI principles to underpin their policies. Work by The Landscape Institute, Natural England, Green Infrastructure North West and a number of sub-regional agencies have produced guidance and robust evidence to support the use of GI. This progress has been particularly clear in Local Government where despite a decrease in overall funding for open space or GI the benefits of GI (multi-functionality, conservation, access and connectivity) have led to new resources being developed and existing resources being enhanced.

London, Cambridgeshire, the North West and the Midlands have been leading the development and utilisation of GI at a regional, sub-regional and local level. What they have all identified is that the breadth of GI thinking can allow planners to use it to meet the challenges of growth. Thus, housing, transport infrastructure and economic development can, and have, all been reviewed in terms of GI development to inform the creation of integrated GI plans.

A number of these developments can be seen in the documentation below:
