The significance of urban greenspaces, illustrated
February 24, 2025
In January 2025, local residents spoke to researchers at the University of Northampton and Nottingham Trent University about what urban greenspaces mean to them. We published findings from this study (and a link to read the full paper) on our website.
Now, Nottinghamshire illustrator B. Mure has produced a fantastic set of illustrations to further demonstrate what urban greenspaces mean to local people. View them below, and use the links at the bottom of this page to find out more.
