To highlight the critical lack of investment in our cities’ green infrastructure we commissioned these beautiful maps from designer Morag Myerscough. They depict Liverpool, Gloucester and the London Boroughs of Hackney and Islington by their greenery rather than as normal, by their roads and buildings.

We created a campaign to encourage local authorities to switch public spending from ‘grey’ projects like road building and heavy engineering projects to ‘green’ schemes like street trees, parks, green roofs and waterways as a way of addressing climate change more effectively, improving public health and making our communities more beautiful.

As nobody has effectively mapped England’s green spaces we commissioned artist Morag Myerscough to use a combination of computer technology and painstaking hand rendering to create a series of maps that give a clear sense of the quantity and distribution of the green infrastructure in three UK locations.
A nationwide roadshow and media relations campaign spread our message across the UK.
