Green and blue spaces are key ingredients in placemaking, but they aren't always seen as a priority. As towns and cities look to evolve, green and blue spaces need to be an integral part of urban regeneration schemes.

In this episode, David Atkinson, our national head of land and development, is joined by Andrew Davison, project director at Queensberry Real Estate, to discuss the value green and blue spaces can bring, including:

• Creating community-centric places where people want to spend time
• Making visits to towns and cities less transactional
• Promoting health, wellbeing and socialisation
• The economic benefits
• Examples of towns and cities who are doing it well - and the approaches they use to finance the upkeep
