RECONNECTING SOUTHAMPTON Understanding the Role of Green Infrastructure in Building a Unified City of the Future by Daniel Young Landscape Design Portfolio
MA Landscape Architecture - Comprehensive Master Project Arts University Bournemouth
SWOT ANALYSIS AND OPPORTUNITY MAPPING
The site is located within close proximity to significant green and blue infrastructure zones Comprehensive strategies and policies outline a regenerative plan for change, aiming to tackle issues of climate change, transport congestion, and identity The site’s topography is relatively flat, with only a few metres across it’s extremities
Active travel routes share surfaces with busy, vehicular traffic, threatening the safety of users and detering wider use of active travel Wartime damage, reparations, and urban expansion make for a disconnected urban grain, particularly between the city centre and waterfront/riverbank A noisy, car-dominant layout limits the movement and habitation of urban wildlife, risking a loss of biodiversity and associated ecosystemic benefits Wartime damage and rapid urbanisation limits the presence of historical sites in the city, hindering resident’s connection to place and culture Limited sense of local identity and place constrains resident’s ability to connect to/take pride in Southampton Emissions from congested traffic/port infrastructure contribute towards poor air pollution, which can negatively impact cardiovascular health Residents identify feeling unsafe or a ‘fear of crime’ when in public space due to a lack of lighting, surveillance, or good public amenities Continual air pollution can result in environmental degradation, increased respiratory disease, and contamination of plants/soils key to urban ecosystems Further damage/extinction of wildlife may result in climate instability, food insecurity, and reduced ecosystem services vital to urban living Fig.164
Railway line creates a physical barrier through the city, obstructing pedestrian travel from east to west. Furthermore, it’s limited use results in an underutilised linear space that severs community neighbourhoods/urban mobility Flat topography and sealed surfaces in the eastern edge increases risk of flooding from sea level rise and extreme rainfall Lack of security measures within the public realm may provide opportunity for a heightened crime rate, which could damage the city’s reputation, threaten minority groups, and lead to an economic drop in housing prices/businesses Population growth could form lower-economic neighbourhoods, worsen traffic congestion, and result in further urban expansion at the cost of habitat/green space 30
Rising rate of traffic (amplified by development/population increases) contributes towards worsened air pollution, biodiversity threats, and impeded pedestrian mobility

outlined ‘Green Grid’ network could flow from railway line’s end, creating a seamless green connection to other parks and open spaces park can act as a catalyst for further regeneration of underutilised infrstructure as community assests (e.g. a museum)
underutilised ‘gaps’ in the urban grain could be transformed into pocket parks to further connect greenery throughout the city

intersectional nodes like Chapel Rd level crossing could be transformed into larger, more established community green spaces
intersection at the end of the linear park could create a new crossroads with local streets and paths, aiding movement between districts
by removing the existing railway barrier, more accessible crossing points can be made to reconnect severed neighbourhoods
existing cycle lanes could be seperated from highways to form protected routes of travel that enhance the comfort and safety of users
pathways/sightlines to Itchen waterfront could be enhanced to restore connections to blue infrastructure
living green roofs/walls could be retrofitted within the existing urban grain, aiding rainwater harvesting, urban cooling and wildlife movement
existing railway could be replaced by a linear park, unlocking an active travel route, wildlife corridor, and green lung for all urban dwellers to enjoy
stadium could be enhanced as a landmark feature, with designed pathways and built features that seperate matchday fans from everyday users

A NETWORKED GREEN GRID Alongside the proposed linear park, an interconnected network of green infrastructure interventions should also be delivered that align with Southampton’s prospective strategies for future resilience and solve issues of disconnection between neighbourhoods, habitats, and urban spaces beyond the main study area. These interventions could include:
• Reduces flooding concerns by absorbing rainwater, slowing the flow of water runoff, and filtering out pollutants • Trees can be easily integrated into existing paving using permanent treepit systems, whilst planters offer more temporal solutions that can be moved if needed

The Castle Hill site, near Swanscombe, was selected as the location for a major new development in Kent. The Garden City, as it’s otherwise referred to, is set amongst 400 acres of sensitively designed parkland and open space throughout the Ebbsfleet Valley.
To be most beneficial, pocket parks should sit within/near community neighbourhoods, especially lacking local/private green space. Brownfield sites are ideal, as this offers a space-efficient reuse of past infrastructure whilst helping to repair gaps in the urban grain
During Phase 1 of the scheme, Land Securities were granted permission to build 150 homes on the brownfield site situated on the Thames estuary, with the potential to extend this figure to 5,000 by 2019.
• Provides visual/noise buffer between pedestrian and vehicle movement corridors
Fig.185
Introduced at strategic intersections where existing wildlife paths/key habitat cores cross/abut busy highways • Offers safe passage for flightless wildlife to cross roads without risk of vehicle collision • Visual presence of wildlife interventions can educate local residents on biodiversity importance and conservation • Encourages genetic diversity between population groups formerly seperated by by habitat fragmentation • Aids key ecosystem services like pollination and seed dispersal via wildlife movement Fig.195
Segregated cycle lanes are difficult to enact everywhere, and require a specialised design to ensure an adverse effect is not had on the current flow of traffic. Min. 3m vehicle lanes should be maintained, with a further 1.5m allowance made for a new cycle lane. • Increases cyclist safety, which in turn promotes more active travel and healthy living (especially amongst women) • May encourage drivers to switch to cycling, reducing traffic congestion and pollution • Segregation barrier offers space for green infrastructure systems (e.g. treepits/planters)

As the construction industry looks for ways to mitigate its impact on biodiversity, one highways project led by Balfour Beatty implemented a number of innovative solutions to help preserve and protect local habitats. Linking a new housing estate to the wider road network, the contractor called upon ACO Water Management to establish safe routes for the animals when navigating roads.

Wildlife Tunnel at Castle Hill, Kent
A major new residential development in Ebbsfleet Valley was set to be the UK’s first Garden City in 100 years. Living up to its name, the developers wanted to embed sustainability in the new town’s identity from the outset, and turned to ACO Water Management to provide the perfect ecological solution to protect the area’s wildlife.

Protected Cycle Lanes
Garden cities were the brainchild of Ebenezer Howard in 1898 and were originally intended as an alternative to industrial slums, with green space and community at their heart. Given the fact that this was a sustainable development, Arup, the acting Infrastructure Engineer on the scheme, along with other contractors involved on the project, were keen to fulfil their ecological commitment from the outset.
town and protect the local wildlife. The Climate Tunnel system is an enclosed series of polymer concrete tunnels which can be installed to sit flush with the road surface, to allow amphibians safe passage across potential ‘risk’ areas, such as roads and footpaths. It is also designed to meet load class D 400, making the range perfect for trafficked areas.

Following specialist advice from an ecological consultant, Arup specified the use of ACO Climate Tunnels in order to support the ethos of the new
