There are some great points made in this article relevant to increasing our connection to green, especially now at a time when we are in a renewed phase of urban planning.

Matthew Mackay, landscape architect and senior Associate at Hassell, who will be speaking at the DesignBUILD Expo Conference this May also refers to the need for everyone to work together regardless of traditional architectural boundaries. That means landscape architects, building architects and interior designers. And we would like to throw in councils and suppliers too!

With urban density set to increase we must plan now for more living architecture and green infrastructure. Green is good for you.
