Overview
Urban greening is the process of increasing the vegetation in our towns and cities. This is often achieved through green infrastructure, which is recognised as an essential component of liveable and sustainable places. The Urban Greening- Planning, Design and Delivery module is offered at the UWE Bristol (University of the West of England) .
Assessment
The module assessment consists of a written report split into two tasks: an evidence-based critique of the green infrastructure in a neighbourhood of your choosing and a proposal outlining enhancements to the green infrastructure.
