Greenkeeper uses big data and research, to model the environmental, economic and social value of green infrastructure. It enables you to identify the complete value of a single green space or compare it with other similarly sized/local spaces. By collating these insights, it can also be used to build a whole portfolio or city-wide green infrastructure network value.

But here’s the even cleverer bit. The model that sits behind Greenkeeper can also be used to help you fully assess the impact an intervention may have on this value. What is the benefit of a modification or extension? What is the complete value of a new proposal? By interpreting the outputs of the model, we can help everyone make more informed investment and management decisions. Therefore ensuring urban green infrastructure can fully support and enhance urban life for everyone.

We therefore believe Greenkeeper will transform the formulaic, space standards-based approach currently guiding greenspace provision and investment in towns and cities across the UK.
