“Ease of access to green spaces creates truly liveable conditions and promotes a symbiotic relationship between urban and natural environments. We need to transform streets into urban ecological bio-corridors linking parks and gardens into an accessible multi-nodal network.”
As part of an in-depth internal conversation that we’re having at PLP Architecture and PLP Labs, I spoke with Property Week about the importance of urban green spaces and networks within our cities.

I believe that it’s critical to keep talking about these issues in the public eye, so that we can build on post-pandemic momentum and really improve the provision of green spaces in urban environments.
