After introducing Liverpool Green Lanes at Healthy City Design 2023, Ryder shares developments at this year’s congress.
In a panel discussion hosted by Ryder partner Paul Bell, we presented insights and developments of Liverpool Green Lanes at Healthy City Design 2024 international congress.
Panellists include Allison McGuiness, Liverpool ONE; Roberto Villegas-Diaz, GroundsWell, University of Liverpool; Kevin Fenning, Evidence First; Jeremy Salmon, Okana; and Cathy Russell, urban design director at Ryder.
Liverpool Green Lanes is both a provocation and a proposition to catalyse, connect, green and grow Liverpool, addressing health and economic inequality, improving connectivity and engaging the city’s communities. The proposal defines how critical paths across cities, areas of need, interest and potential could be connected. These critical paths have the potential to amplify and accelerate Liverpool’s positive transformation, providing communities with access to a greener, healthier, more liveable and better connected urban environment.
As a centrepiece and award winner for the most innovative idea at last year’s congress, the interactive installation generated significant interest and feedback.
This year’s panel of collaborators demonstrated how continued development responds to the objectives of the World Health Organization’s emerging strategic guide for urban health.
Key areas of discussion included:
Liverpool Green Lanes was also highly commended at the awards ceremony.
