The protection and enhancement of the existing green infrastructure is important to conserve natural assets, protect local distinctiveness and minimise habitat fragmentation. In this section, we explore the relationship between a site and its existing green infrastructure.
- Green infrastructure is an areas multi-functional network of habitats, greenspaces and linkages
- Understanding the assets, functional requirements and potential benefits of the existing green infrastructure is fundamental to a context study
- The ecological function of existing green infrastructure as habitat networks can be protected and enhanced through careful planning
- Enhancing the existing green infrastructure can help to deliver important ecological services
