Parkliv! Tools for Inclusion and Access to Urban Green Infrastrucures

Founder: Vinnova

Duration: 2019-2022

SLU and the consultancy Living Cities (Stockholm, SE) have been granted Vinnova-funding to develop new approaches and tools for inclusive engagement of urban green spaces. Despite the facts that a number of tools already exists in order to engage users and to develop solutions which will allow more use of green spaces, a thorough, systematic and holistic approach to well-functioning engagement of users in green spaces is lacking, Especially the focus on those who do not use green spaces is in focus in this project. 

Parkliv focuses on:

• Urban green spaces, publicly owned which are being used on a daily basis.
• A user driven perspective; why do various user groups use green spaces, and which cultural and social perspectives are hindering such use? 
• To develop tools which can lead to more inclusive green spaces.
