The Biffa Award awarded the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust with £24,681 in December 2013 for their ‘Lapwings on your Doorstep’ project, which started a number of habitat management activities at Potteric Carr Nature Reserve aiming to benefit a range of species. The project's main objective was to improve breeding conditions for the bird. Workers at the site, near Doncaster reported the scheme would
 also benefit a wider range of species, both common and rare, including other birds, bats and insects. It will also increase the reserve's value as an important tourist attraction, boosting the local city's economy. (Ref 1, 7).

Work started on the Broadway shopping centre in 2004 but was halted due to the economic recession in 2008. A temporary urban park was opened on the derelict site after work on the Westfield development was halted for years. The urban garden was said to be an improvement to the city centre landscape in Bradford (reference 4). After a long halt, the vast empty space with piles of rubble from the buildings which had been cleared to make way for the new development. Money from the council, Westfield and regional development agency Yorkshire Forward has enabled the area to now be transformed into a green space, which was opened in 2010. (ref 6).
The total park area was fragmented into several zones after the construction of the shopping mall(ref 7). The park does not exist any more due to the construction of the shopping mall - Bradford Urban Garden closed in 2014 (Ref. 2).

The North Green Belt was developed and built up in connection to investments and structures for the 2008 Expo. (Ref. 1,2) The North Green Belt is a series of connections extending the green corridor and network of green spaces in Zaragoza, with the Ebro and Gallego rivers as the two main axes of the belt. (Ref. 1,2)

Püspökerdő is a 250-hectare large forest in Győr, situated in the inner part of the city. The forest is split into two parts by Moson-Danube river. The forest is maintained by the company Kisalföld Erőgazdálkodási Zrt, which since 1998, has added new facilities to the area with the primary goal of serving the needs of those who visit the forest (Reference 1). It is equipped with educational trails, fireplaces, a clearing suitable for playing ball games, an outside gym and a playground. The educational trails give information about the flora and fauna of the forest in their natural environment. In 2013, a new adventure park was established to attract the nature-lover visitors looking for active recreational opportunities. In 2017, the local government planned a large-scale watersports project in the area, but it was cancelled due to criticism from citizens. In 2020, the forest was granted environmental protection by the local municipality (Reference 9).
Step by step the area has been developed since 1998, with the help of municipal and regional funds (educational trails), and private investment (adventure park). The adventure park was opened in 2013 and the latest development happened there in 2016.

"The Imperial Canal of Aragon acts like a green corridor crossing the city of Zaragoza from Montecanal to Torrero and passing through Casablanca and the Great Park." (Ref 2) The more than 200 years old waterway runs through 7 regional parks and green areas and it is 41 km long. (Ref. 1 and Ref 3) Its rehabilitation has been planned in 2003 for parts of the canal with bike paths built, pedestrian walkways, strengthening of its hydrological structure, and protection of its greenery. (Ref 6)

Heeley City Farm came into existence in the middle of 1981 (ref 3). It is a community-based and led training, employment and youth enterprise (ref 1) and a much needed green space in the inner suburban Sheffield with recycling, healthy living facilities, a garden centre, cafe, and charity shop. Heeley City Farm also manages food growing projects across Sheffield. (Ref 3) The Farm addresses poverty, inequality, prejudice and lack of opportunity by supporting community regeneration and self-help within environmentally friendly and self-sustaining systems, using the background of a mini-farm, community gardens and related resources. (Ref1)

The vertical gardens were installed on a property whose two street-facing facades are almost entirely covered with layered greenery. The building is a mini-lung and an example of sustainability for the city, keeping the principles of a living habitat and a relationship with the outside, assuming a revitalizing urban role. Its walls are completely covered with vegetation, creating a vertical garden, with around 4500 plants. (ref.3, 1)The architect who designed the property was originally commissioned to transform an old building but serious structural problems meant the building had to be demolished, and with the chance to start from scratch, considerations for a more radical design began.

The aim of the project was to plant many varieties of vines on flood embankments of the southern tip of Ostrow Tumski on a stretch of 1 km. Grapes would be free of charge, as the idea of the project was to set up a community garden where the effects of the citizens’ work would be available long-term and publicly accessible [1]. In 2014 the project was in a pilot stage which resulted in a successful application for funds from the participatory budget in 2016. Despite the awarded money, the project has never been implemented, hence the applicants (Foundation “Vineyards of Poznan”) pressed charges against City Hall. Today, the project is still in the initial form from its pilot phase [9].

The intervention was supposed to be implemented by the project group "Green Facades" consisting of the urban initiative "SchwarmFarm", the research project Quartier Zukunft and citizen volunteers. Greening facades in the Oststadt district of Karlsruhe with hops (climbing plant) to contribute to the cooling of the urban microclimate was their primary goal. Additionally, the harvested hops were envisioned to be used by local breweries for brewing (Ref. 1) Although the project group dedicated to the project was cancelled, there are plans to continue the project in private. (Ref. 2)
The leaders of the project have cancelled it, but it may still be implemented privately in a different form. (Ref. 2)

The project created a green recreational park in the family housing area, where there had been a lack of such facilities. The park contains a multifunctional sports pitch, open-air gym and a playground. Additionally, as the park is located next to the nature reserve ‘Żurawiniec’ it serves as a buffer zone for the reserve and mitigates the pressure caused by the proximity of the city [1].
