Urban parks are everyday climate infrastructure. GP4Streets study in Guildford’s Stoke Park: 6.5% cooler, >11% less PM10 and 5.4 dB quieter than nearby areas. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #GP4Streets #UrbanParks #ClimateResilience

Did you know a new study from the GP4Streets initiative shows that Park cut PM10 by 11.6%, air temperature by 6.5% versus built-up area in morning.🌳 Read here: www.gp4streets.org/news-and-med...

Yesterday we hosted our third GP4Streets Advisory Board meeting, shaping greener, healthier, climate-resilient streets. A big thank you to our Advisory Board members for their thoughtful feedback and continued support. More here: www.gp4streets.org/news-and-med... #GP4Streets #HealthyStreets

Our new open-access paper in Nature-Based Solutions explores how garden vegetation can reduce pollution and support cleaner, cooler streets – closely linked to our GP4Streets work. Read it here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #AirQuality #NatureBasedSolutions #GP4Streets

Calling residents, community groups and anyone involved in neighbourhood greening. Please take our survey : surreyfbel.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... As part of the GP4Streets project, we are running a short survey to understand how people use, create, maintain, and care for local green spaces.

Children used thermal cameras through Surrey’s Heat-Cool programme to identify school heat hotspots and design greener cooling solutions. GP4Streets builds on this kind of citizen science to shape greener, cooler, healthier streets. www.gp4streets.org

Delighted to welcome Angus Cunningham, Founder of Scotscape, to @GP4Streets Advisory Board. Angus brings experience in urban greening and living walls and air quality in cities. We’re excited to work with him as we advance GP4Streets & explore greener, healthier streets
