Today we release the second of four research pamphlets examining four key challenges that London's urban nature faces today. Issue 2: Parks and Open Doors, follows the stories of London's diverse communities as they try find nature nearby. You can download the publication on our research papers webpage. The remaining pamphlets will be published early next year.

Last week our project in Digbeth, Birmingham with HUB and Shed KM gained planning consent. Space for existing communities, access to the forgotten canal, 2000 homes and new workspace, much of which will be affordable and for local people.

Today we release the first of four research pamphlets examining four key challenges that London's urban nature faces today. Issue 1: Parks and the wild, treads the overgrown routes of Richmond Park to investigate how far we can tangibly connect with nature from the very middle of an urban capital city. You can download the publication on our research papers webpage. The remaining pamphlets will be published later this year and early next.
