After the war a massive reconstruction project was started in Portsmouth. The opportunity was also taken for ‘slum clearance’, the demolition of many of the city’s sub-standard houses, some of which did not have toilets or running water.
![Page 17: Portsmouth urban planning and health seminar, 1 December 2014](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052509/55a19eac1a28ab3e5c8b46b2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Over the centuries a lot of land has been reclaimed from the sea around
Portsmouth. This includes the area around Horsea Island (top) which today is
Port Solent, and North Harbour, which today includes a large Tesco and IBM.
Much of the land was reclaimed through landfill, as by the 1960s the municipal
landfill in Milton was coming to the end of its life.

Land reclamation happening in the 19th century, during the extension of
Portsmouth Dockyard. What is now Gunwharf Quays was also built on former
mudflats.
![Page 22: Portsmouth urban planning and health seminar, 1 December 2014](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052509/55a19eac1a28ab3e5c8b46b2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
In 1995 Gosport and Portsmouth Councils created a joint plan to regenerate
Portsmouth Harbour for the new millennium, while reflecting on the achievements
of the previous millenniums.
![Page 23: Portsmouth urban planning and health seminar, 1 December 2014](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052509/55a19eac1a28ab3e5c8b46b2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
In 1996, Berkeley Group bought HMS Vernon and began work on a mixed-use redevelopment scheme along with lines outlined in a Gunwharf Development Brief which the City Council had produced in 1995.
![Page 24: Portsmouth urban planning and health seminar, 1 December 2014](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052509/55a19eac1a28ab3e5c8b46b2/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
In the first ten years of being open, Gunwharf Quays attracted over 60 million visitors, bringing an annual income of £160 million and 2,000 jobs. Gunwharfhas also opened up parts of the city which had been off-limits to the public for hundreds of years.

Green environment and health
• Green space in towns and cities could lead to significant
and sustained improvements in mental health – “1 in 4
people experience mental health problems in the course
of a year” (Goldberg,1991)
• Increasing green spaces in cities - such as parks and
gardens could deliver substantial benefits to public
health
• Therefore environmental policies to increase urban
green space may have sustainable public health benefitsRef: Alcock et al., 2013
47
![Page 48: Portsmouth urban planning and health seminar, 1 December 2014](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052509/55a19eac1a28ab3e5c8b46b2/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
www.portsmouth.gov.uk
Green space and health benefits
• Every 10% increase in green space is associated with a
reduction in diseases equivalent to an increase of five
years of life expectancy
• Easily accessible and safe urban forests and green spaces
have also been found to have the following health benefits:– Increased physical activity and reduced obesity
– Reduced stress levels and improvements in mental health
– Reductions in noise levels, which can improve mental and physical health
– Improvements in hospital recovery times
– Lower levels of violence and crime and increased social interactions which
can also help improve overall well-being

Green exercise
• Green exercise is activity in the presence of nature
• It leads to positive short and long-term health outcomes
• Both intensity and duration showed large benefits from short
engagements in green exercise
• Every green environment improved both self-esteem and mood;
the presence of water generated greater effects
• Men and women – similar improvements in self-esteem with the
greatest change in young; diminishing with age
• Young and old least change in mood
• Mentally ill one of the biggest improvements in self-esteem

Social benefits
– People who live near green spaces are more likely to
feel a sense of attachment
– Overgrown or neglected spaces with damaged or
dilapidated facilities affect older people and children in
particular: parents are less likely to allow or encourage
their children to play outdoors and may perceive such
places as risky and associated with anti-social
behaviour
– Projects to improve the local environment build
friendships and a sense of community

Green spaces and play
– Play is one of the most important social benefits of
green spaces
– Open spaces enable children to develop
imagination and creativity, building dens and
interacting with the natural environment
– Play enables children to socialise and meet others
from different backgrounds, bridging cultural and
class divides

Increasing the Use and Enjoyment of
Accessible Open and Green Spaces in Portsmouth
• Parents in Portsmouth have strongly positive attitudes to
physical activity and outdoor play:
– 92% agree that ‘it is vital that children take regular exercise
outside’
– 88% agree that ‘children that play outside with nature around
them are happier
• Overall claimed usage of accessible open and green spaces
is reasonably high with 83% of people claiming to visit a park,
play area or open and green space at least once or twice per
week
• Proximity to where people live and the area having lots of
activities or things are the main reasons for using themRef: Brilliant Futures, 200959

• Perceived lack of safety is the key barrier preventing
greater use of open and green spaces in the city with
antisocial behaviour amongst gangs of teenagers often
cited
• Other barriers include:
– uncontrolled dogs
– dog fouling
– misuse by others (predominantly drug taking)
– poor lighting
– not enough things to do

• Considerable amount of participants responded with a
need for more:
– play areas for 8-12 year olds
– more grass pitches on school sites
– slightly more green spaces in housing areas
– community gardens and allotments

Funding issues
• The Audit Commission reports that Government funding to
local authorities reduced by an average of almost 20% in real
terms between 2010–11 and 2013–14
• Some of the poorest councils in the most deprived areas of
England have experienced cumulative cuts that will average
25% by 2016.
• 86% of park managers report that revenue budgets for day-to-
day maintenance have been cut
• 77% of council parks departments have lost frontline staff
• 45% of local authorities are considering disposing of some
green spaces 62

Basic questions that need answers
• The amount & location of urban green space
• What state are our urban green spaces in?
• How much urban green space is publicly accessible?
• How much money is spent on urban green spaces?

MVHR
• Examples of failures in typical design, installation and commissioning practice
are all too common – badly performing systems may not deliver the anticipated
carbon savings;
• Good control is essential to the correct operation of systems, good practice in
the design and provision of controls is uncommon.
• Realising good performance throughout the life of systems also requires that
maintenance is undertaken in accordance with manufacturers’ requirements.
Many systems installed in locations, such as roof spaces, where access for user-
maintenance is restricted.
• Anecdotal reports that a market for replacement filters does not exist at present,
which suggests that even basic maintenance is not being undertaken, possibly
because users are not aware of the requirement for it.

• Increasing reliance on low carbon technologies could change the nature of

Impacts of future uncertainty
• Future uncertainties pose significant risks to building performance and
health
• Occupant responses to comfort conditions likely to have implications at an
urban scale
• Understanding subjective nature of such responses key to delivering an
effective built environment
