60% of residents surveyed think the street has been enhanced with trees, greenery or artwork i A University of Glasgow & University of St Andrews study found that even small green spaces in living environments made a difference to people’s risk of fatal diseases. (The Lancet, Vol. 372, Issue 9650, pp1655-1660) Residents and pupils from Greenwards Primary School worked with artist Nicola Atkinson who created a new colouful footway through the street on a widened section of path. The footpath has been laid with inset durable colourful ceramic pieces. ‘Invent a Game’ artwork by Nicola Atkinson is seamlessly interwoven into the design of the street and encourages people of all ages to engage with the street playfully. “ I think it’s a good thing. I’ve noticed they’ve put the plants in along the street - surprised there has been no damage but that could be down to them asking the kids to help so they’re taking a pride in it as well ” - Resident A younger resident on the street experimented with watercolour shapes as part of the process of developing the ‘Invent a Game’ artwork. Bright, glazed ceramic peices were inset into white concrete slabs to create the stepping stone pattern. Residents also got stuck in with the gardening, filling the new planters with colourful shrubs and flowers. 3. PLACE - QUALITY
