74 Start with the park
Thinking about design 75 6. Adaptability and robustness Like other forms of development, green spaces need to adapt in the face of unpredictable social, economic and environmental change. Indeed, continuous change – with plants growing, changing and dying back over time – is the essence of green space. Patterns of use and appearance of plants and trees change from season to season, as well as over longer periods of time. Plants and trees can adapt naturally to changing circumstances and are often the first colonisers of derelict land. Regent’s Park was designed as a private garden for the surrounding residents. It now operates very successfully as one of the most popular London parks Green areas can become useful and productive Changing social or market conditions can mean that parks, woodlands and farms can function effectively as interim uses for land that might be brought back into use in the future. Many of the challenges facing areas of housing growth and low demand will take years to overcome. Planners and clients need to develop flexible approaches to green space planning that include temporary uses for green space and recognise the importance of temporary landscapes. Interim uses can help to raise confidence and create a virtuous circle of sustainable development.
