Two pioneering new public green space projects in London

In this episode, Paul spoke to Neil Manthorpe, and Kate Digney. Neil leads the Atkins London Landscape and Urban Design Studio, which has just won planning permission from the City of London Corporation to upgrade and introduce biodiversity gains to the second part of the high walkway which runs around the Barbican Centre and the Barbican Estate. Kate is Head of Landscape at Levitt Bernstein where she leads sustainable design across a range of projects. Recently, she has been masterplanning a park in North London, where she has been working closely with the local community to deliver a space which addresses both climate resilience and the needs of a fast-growing population.

Together they talked about the design process for each of their respective public green space projects, and discussed the role of landscape architects in transitioning to a greener future.
