"The quality of people's homes is influenced by the spaces around them. There is increasing recognition that well-designed, well-managed green spaces by and in between housing are crucial to making neighbourhoods liveable, and contribute to people's quality of life."
Neighbourhoods Green
aims to highlight the importance of green spaces for the residents of social housing, and to raise the quality of their design, management and safe use within social housing providers. It is a 3-year partnership project which will provide guidance, support and tools for housing associations, local authority housing departments, ALMOs, tenants associations, and their partners.
Our report,
Decent Homes, Decent Spaces
