Spatial PlanningPlanning Strategies and Developments Concepts- What contribution can gardens and parks make to regional development? - What conditions do they need to thrive? - Where is their value already recognised in regional strategies and where is their potential as cultural and tourist attractions still untapped? To answer these questions, the EGHN partners have compared and evaluated regional development programmes. Case studies on the fi ve anchor gardens have illustrated their cultural, social and economic value and their importance to the region as a whole. Additionally, a research study on Tatton Park, the anchor garden in Cheshire (England), was commissioned in which the park’s economic effect on the region is directly expressed in numbers. In this way the EGHN has provided up-to-date information that underlines the potential of gardens for innovative and sustainable regional development; not just contributing to a region’s soft infrastructure but, as a part of the cultural landscape, as an economic generator. These arguments emphasise the significance of parks and gardens and help increase their recognition in regional and national development. The EGHN results are being incorporated into planning and political recommendations. Already, current programmes and projects in the partner regions and beyond are showing that this is taking place and can be very successful.
