ABSTRACT
The previous eight chapters established a rationale for why we invest in green infrastructure before examining how green space is developed and managed in ten locations across the globe. This chapter reflects upon the main thematic, spatial and political issues discussed in these case studies, drawing together the evidence presented in each to highlight the variability of investment in green infrastructure, the positive socio-economic benefits it delivers, and even where consensus on what it is and how it should be delivered is visible.
