30 Start with the park Raising development value through temporary uses A common challenge facing decisionmakers in areas of housing growth and low demand is rapidly changing social or market conditions, coupled with the need to produce plans that stretch many years ahead. Parks, woodlands and gardens can function effectively as an interim use for land that might be brought back into use in the future. In many areas trees can be planted well in advance of new development to create an attractive and distinctive environment for residents when they move in. For example, a welldesigned structure of trees in an area on the urban fringe could become the centrepiece of a new urban development 10, 20 or 50 years later. Productive uses, such as allotments, farms or providing crops for biomass energy generation, can provide an effective function for some derelict or unused sites. As land values rise or population pressure increases, land can be developed for housing, while retaining the main elements of the green infrastructure. Biomass offers a productive use of land
Green spaces in areas undergoing major change 31 Green spaces in areas undergoing major change: Watch points • Much of the green infrastructure is already around us • The need is to make the most of what green space already exists • Good quality green space improves the image of an area • Higher-density development needs to be matched by an increase in the quality and range of green spaces • A high-quality public realm is a powerful means of transforming the image of a depressed area • Well-designed green space can become the centrepiece of future urban developments.
