Project Overview - GCC role

Complex problem to embed NBS in urban planning policy Glasgow chosen as front runner city because:

• We’re recognised as trying to understand the implications of a

changing climate

• Collaborative & innovative in relation to NBS
• We try to deal with blue / grey / green spaces across departments,

disciplines and partners. Working with MGSDP, CSGN, GCVGN, Greenspace Scotland, SNIFFER etc

• Our NBS projects are now at a scale that they are impacting

positively on policy, however the project will allow us to iteratively improve our data; monitoring; policies and opportunity mapping

• We support bottom up / top down solutions – As spatial planning

aligns more closely with Community Planning and budgets are squeezed this project will allow us to identify opportunities for social enterprise and community collaboration.

Think about Place

“Dull, inert cities, it is true, do contain the seeds of their own destruction and little

• else. But lively, diverse,

intense cities contain the seeds of their own regeneration, with energy enough to carry

• ver for problems and

needs outside themselves.”​ Jane Jacob "Town Planning is not mere place-planning, nor even work planning. If it is to be successful it must be folk planning. This means that its task is not to coerce people into new places against their associations, wishes, and interest, as we find bad schemes trying to do. Instead its task is to find the right places for each sort of people; place where they will really flourish Sir Patrick Geddes
