Short summary

Finding ways to overcome barriers in urban planning that hinder provision of high quality green space.

The project looks at how cities can manage green spaces to support nature, tackle climate change, and improve people’s health — and gives advice on how to make the most of these areas by using them for several purposes at once.

LANDPATHS

LANDPATHS – Multifunctional landscapes of the future: barriers and drivers along the path of transition – is a project that aims to develop strategies to promote multifunctional landscapes that serve several purposes at once. These landscapes should be rich in biodiversity, while also being usable for various societal needs.

The project is led by Uppsala University, with researchers from SLU (Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences), Stockholm University, and Södertörn University participating.
