As street furniture designers and manufacturers, we bear responsibility for our environment so we’ve been reviewing our ranges to find ways of making them more environmentally friendly, enabling landscape architects to up the ante on sustainability and meet green goals.
Our outdoor spaces are so much more than just grass, trees, and fields. These days we value the outdoors more than ever, to spend time with friends, to exercise, to eat or just to be around nature. Grey areas are getting greener, a trend that landscape architects are tasked with bringing to urban settings.
The relationship between man and plant is undoubtedly an important one, as such it is essential to ensure we sustain a healthy environment and provide enough green space for everyone. In this article we highlight five projects that connect people and plants together through the creation of green infrastructure.
Welcome to The Green Room, #Decarbonised. A series of discussions tackling sustainability with key heads in our networks. Stay tuned over the next few months, as we take on sustainability across different ends of the supply chain, the different roles we play, the challenges we face and ways forward.
Our new monthly podcast will explore all things landscape architecture, urban design and of course street furniture! Hosted by our managing director, Catherine Barratt, The Green Room promises to bring you the very best of industry musings, interviews, discussions and debates.
As champions of green space we explore the real values in our precious parks and why they should be protected and embraced at all times.
In one way or another we all try to live a more sustainable lifestyle. Our everyday choices have an impact on the environment we live in; from choosing to buy bottled water or that coffee on the morning run. We explore how we can be encouraged and inspired by other cities that have excelled at creating a sustainable and greener environment.
We long to be together again united in outside spaces, a shopping trip with friends or a picnic in the park but how can street furniture be used as a permanent solution in our way out of the pandemic?
It’s part of our mission to get more people outside and green the grey in our cities and we know adding beautiful planters and softening an urban landscape are great ways to achieve this. They create colorful and welcoming spaces for communities that people want to spend time in and enjoy. Working on any upcoming schemes? Here are five reasons why you might want to consider greening the grey too!
