GHIA

Green infrastructure, including blue (water-based) and green public space, can directly and indirectly influence health and wellbeing... However, access to health and wellbeing benefits is not shared equally amongst the population, particularly in urban areas. People aged 65 and over are most likely to suffer from poor health, yet this group may be the least likely to benefit from green and blue spaces... Through the GHIA project, researchers with a range of academic specialisms work with project partners from Greater Manchester to investigate the value of urban green and blue spaces in connection with the health and wellbeing of older people.
