Urban Greening Symposium Part 3 |Gardening the Public Landscape : Connecting Policy and Planning with Funding and Local Delivery
The Urban Greening Symposium Part II highlighted the need for sustainable funding mechanisms, including stewardship endowments and Biodiversity Net Gain opportunities, to secure the future of public landscapes and its gardeners. Urban greening projects succeed when policy, planning, funding and long-term stewardship are considered together from the very beginning of the development process. Current funding models often prioritise physical infrastructure while failing to adequately support the gardeners and organisations responsible for long-term management.
This series of workshops will examine existing models of funding, understand where they are not working and look at examples of best practice to enable sustained investment in people, care and collaboration, as well as capital investment in infrastructure. We will put forward policy and planning changes that will inform improvements through these discussions.
