Case Studies: Planning and Policy
UNITED KINGDOM (UK) - resources include case studies and more detailed discussions of GI resources
In recent years a number of organisations, Local Authorities and NGO’s have used GI Planning or GI principles to underpin their policies. Work by The Landscape Institute, Natural England and the Green Infrastructure Unit at the Community Forest Trust 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:
A number of PhD students are looking at aspects of green infrastructure are also underway atLiverpool University, within the Department of Civic Design.

Duwamish Valley Vision Map & Report 2009by the Duwamish River Cleanup Coalition in Seattle (uses a variation on the green infrastructure systems methodology). The Duwamish Vision is used by Duwamish River stakeholder groups to preemptively plan for the large Superfund cleanup of the Lower Duwamish River.

Physical delivery of actions set out in some the GI Frameworks and Strategies are now underway. It is critical for GI Planning to be seen to have practical application. Some examples are listed;
Natural Choices - Health focussed programme developed from Liverpool GI Strategy
Local Sustainable Transport Fund - Making use of GI to increase active travel
Setting the Scene for Growth - GI underpinning major economic investment
