- Outline : A report from the by David Nicholson-Lord which calls for green space to be at the heart of regenreation and community building programmes. The report covers the psychological, spiritual and practical human need for quality local greenspace and presents a manifesto for developing green cities. It argues for a careful consideration of greenspace before development, and questions the protection of sterile, pesticide-drenched, monocultured green-belt land in favour of many species-rich brownfield sites.
