Guide – Green City Philosophy

by Richard Matthews
May 17, 2013

0
There has never been a greater need for the people planning
and running our cities, as well as the residents themselves,
to understand the critical significance of green space in our
urban environment.
Working with green is a way to respond to the true needs of
people when designing buildings, the public realm, transport
and communications infrastructure. This is a goal to which every
professional can apply themselves.

These guidelines are a starting
point so interested parties can come together internationally
and discuss techniques for urban development.
What this set of guidelines shows is that the knowledge is
already there. The theory, substantiated by empirical scientific
research, proves that green infrastructure is a key element
in constructing living spaces that work.
This is powerful information at a time when budgets are
being cut and every cost scrutinised. This set of guidelines and
techniques will demonstrate to practitioners that investment
and maintenance in green infrastructure is not a cost but brings
value from a social, economic and environmental point of view –
in summary the ‘Green City Philosophy’.

A group of leading researchers and practitioners have
contributed to this volume and it is to be used as a
stimulus for the global adoption of the Green City Philosophy.
This book is the beginning of a process that could see green
infrastructure responses fully incorporated into policy and
practice – in effect become a ‘universal green city standard’.
The authors and contributors hope that you will be part of
that process.
The ‘guidelines’ project has been made possible with
funding from the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs,
Agriculture and Innovation (EL&I) and with the active
support and co-operation of the Dutch nursery stock industry,
Plant Publicity Holland (PPH), the International Association of
Horticultural Producers (AIPH) and Niek Roozen bv landscape
architects.
