Who? What? Why?


The strategic aims of green infrastructure

To improve the quality, accessibility

and quantity of green infrastructure in

Scotland’s towns and cities

To provide increased and better

opportunities for people to improve

their health and well-being;

To address inequality by creating new

green space, and improve existing sites

for communities in areas of multiple

deprivation and/or for communities living close to vacant and

derelict land
