94 Start with the park Awards Successful green spaces are a cause for celebration and congratulation. Don’t take them for granted: use award schemes such as the Green Flag Award and Green Pennant Award to spread the word, give credit where it is due, and inspire others to emulate the example. A list of awards can be found in the appendix. Developing awareness and skills Every stage of the process – from initiation to conception, design, realisation and maintenance – depends on people with the right skills, knowledge and attitudes. Awareness-raising and training needs to be planned in the light of an understanding of who requires training, what skills are required and what methods of training are appropriate. Parks need people need parks, published by CABE Space, highlights the acute skills shortages in park planning, management and maintenance. 24 The fourth dimension A good plan takes time to develop. Public realm projects can provide early wins and provide a quality benchmark for all future developments. ‘The most important thing is to start’ Evert Verhagen, project manager of Westerpark in Amsterdam, sums up the key lesson of 15 years’ work
