Support us to provide and develop Community Placemaking across Scotland. Community Placemaking is a multi-faceted approach to revitalising, planning, designing and managing places.

greenspace and climate change
greenspaces have an important role to play in climate change action in Scotland’s towns and cities. Climate change is one of the major challenges facing towns and cities and the people who live in them. Across Scotland, climate change will generally mean that we have warmer and wetter winters, hotter and drier summers, rising sea levels and more extreme weather.
There is a need for action to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and to take action to cope with the consequences of the climate change which is already happening.
Greenspaces and green networks have the potential to contribute to both these sets of actions. At greenspace scotland we have been exploring the potential role for different types of greenspace in both climate change mitigation and adaptation and we have identified priority actions.

This will help people think beyond isolated growing sites and beyond just traditional allotments to develop communities that are growing everywhere – in the flowerbeds outside the office, on the edge of the school playing field, on that bit of derelict ground…
