GIFT-T! started in September of 2011 as four-year European project involving seven partners from three countries – Great Britain, The Netherlands, and Belgium.
GIFT-T! developed a toolkit, a manual and inspirational examples that will help communities, businesses and governments to enhance their green environment, or Green Infrastructure.
In five case studies, we tested and developed tools for bottom up planning of Green infrastructure and came up with generic road maps. We engaged and brought together communities, businesses and governments and facilitated a process of joint goal setting, mapping of the green infrastructure and ecosystem services, designing of scenario’s and making arrangements for implementation.
We assessed the role of valuation and how the enhancements of green infrastructure can improve the natural habitats.
