I talked about many of the fantastic @GI_Scotland project and the benefits that come from partnership working. Also the need to break down silos, not just in funding, but in the use of our green space.

Green Infrastructure Partnership UK@GIPartnership

Now we are joined by @NatureScotCEO, Francesca Osowska to discuss the renewal of deprived urban areas in Scotland. #GreenInfrastructure is providing multifunctional benefits to local communities and economies. E.g. Canal & North Gateway got 1.3 million visitors in the last year

The Canal & North Gateway project is the largest of our funded projects at 56 hectares. Essentially a group of projects, it creates green infrastructure over the whole development, connects communities, creates spaces communities can use, and ensures nature is enhanced.

A great example of the positive effects of green infrastructure. The @GI_Scotland programme is transforming spaces across Scotland, benefiting communities and nature.

Excellent visit to the @clydegateway Cunningar Loop regeneration project with @ScotGovNetZero Environment and Economy Leader Group colleagues. Great example of how green space and nature can deliver well-being economy benefits. Was delighted to chair our afternoon EELG meeting.

A sea of colour, and a flowery extravangza, at Halfway Community Park in Cardonald. Southside Housing Association's visionary work has transformed this site superbly. A great resource for nature and people.

A departure from the central belt in our latest GI blog. The Treehouse, Inverness benefits from impressive landscaping and building materials. Just a short stroll from the canal side it is destined to have a very good fit with the local community. More @ nature.scot/doc/green-infr…

How about a short film looking at the fantastic transformation delivered by West Dunbartonshire Council at Melfort Park in Clydebank ? A super return to use of piece of derelict and vacant land.

Fernbrae Meadows urban park is a remarkable transformation by South Lanarkshire Council of a disused golf course. It's a wonderful example too of support from the Green Infrastructure Strategic Intervention. Result ? Connecting people with nature. #ERDF connectingnature.eu/oppla-case-stu…

Green or Living Walls are a fantastic urban asset where space is in short supply. They can keep buildings cool in summer. They also help with urban air quality, insulation & noise reduction. Insects benefit. Mind you they look best in Summer, as our images of March & July show.

Queensland Court and Gardens are a Cardonald landmark, two imposing tower blocks dating back over 50 years. Half a century on from their construction, major works are underway to improve the surrounding greenspace and create a new community park. Blog @ nature.scot/queensland-com…

Delighted to join the welcoming staff from @scottishcanals yesterday for a sneak preview of their new Treehouse building in Inverness. Nestled in next to Muirtown Basin this will be a great hub for the local communities of Merkinch and South Kessock. #ERDF

The role of landscape architects in successful green infrastructure projects is crucial. Working with ecologists, engineers & construction teams, they bring ideas for sustainable & distinctive public spaces to life. More in our Cuningar Loop blog @ nature.scot/lets-hear-it-l…
