Our new Green Infrastructure Action Plan (GIAP) has been published, outlining our approach to improving the city’s outdoor environment and provides details of a range of exciting projects to help make public spaces in Bristol more sustainable and accessible.

We have worked with experts in landscape architecture, Landsmith Associates to undergo a full analysis of the area of Redcliffe and Temple and its current green infrastructure, facilitate stakeholder engagement, set out decision making and define future projects.

The thorough research identified potential environmental risk factors, its ecological make-up and how it is currently being used by people living, working and visiting the area.

The GIAP outlines future projects and the short, medium and long-term actions that will create quality green spaces and improve sustainability in the city across the next three years and beyond.

The GIAP’s short term focus is to promote nature within the areas of Redcliffe and Temple, creating a series of volunteering days and working with community groups to enhance the relationship between participants and nature, with activities like gardening, litter picking and volunteer sessions.

With a slightly longer lead time required, mid-term plans hope to install temporary street furniture and play equipment to the area, and creating a series of pop-up green spaces and other opportunities to enjoy the city’s outdoor spaces.
