Green Infrastructure Planning by Ian Mell

Green Infrastructure Planning by Ian Mell

What is green infrastructure? Why should we develop it? Who uses it? And what socio-economic and ecological value does it provide? This useful guide provides an essential introduction to green infrastructure for planners, landscape architects, engineers and environmentalists keen to understand how we can use landscape principles to deliver more sustainable urban planning. Using multiple examples from practice in the UK, Europe, North America and Asia, the book illustrates how good policy ideas and innovative planning practice can help create more sustainable and ecologically focused urban landscapes.

'If you want to understand different iterations of green infrastructure in action, read this book! Calling on interpretations of green infrastructure from around the world, this book breaks down this complex concept clearly and concisely' - Dr Nicola Dempsey, University of Sheffield 

Dr Ian Mell is a lecturer in environmental and landscape planning at the University of Manchester. He has also worked with advocacy organisations and as a consultant for East Cambridgeshire and Liverpool City Council.
