GI is the network of natural and semi-natural features, green spaces, rivers and lakes within and between our villages, towns and cities. When appropriately planned, designed and managed, these green assets have the potential to deliver many benefits – from providing sustainable transport links to mitigating the effects of climate change.

Together these will create a new dimension across the Mersey Belt – a collection of strategic ‘Planned Landscapes and Creative Environments’; our Parklands PLACEs. We envision these PLACEs developing under four categories: Strategic Environmental Initiatives Those projects with a direct link to the key Atlantic Gateway economic assets and with which the Parklands will seek a direct relationship and supporting role to assist in their delivery within the first 3–5 years of the Parklands initiative. Emergent Environmental Assets Transformational partner initiatives, which will create a landscape that is liveable and investment ready. These will drive forward the economy of the Gateway and support the wider connection of environmental assets through the creation of the Parklands concept. natural assets which are critical to the Gateway’s biodiversity and resilience and which form the backbone of the environmental quality that will act as a competitive advantage in attracting and retaining talent and investment. Strategic Flood Defence Investments Strategic Landscape Assets The critical natural assets that can contribute to relieving the drag on development by dealing with issues at ‘Pinch Points’ and up- stream of key developments through Green Infrastructure and natural capital investments.
