Greener Streets. Stronger Districts.

Practical green infrastructure for UK Business Improvement Districts

Business Improvement Districts are key players in shaping vibrant, resilient and economically thriving urban areas. As cities face increasing environmental and social challenges, green infrastructure has become an essential tool, not only to enhance public space, but to deliver measurable value for businesses, communities and the environment. Mobilane’s newly published Greening Guide for BIDs offers tailored insights and practical strategies to support BID teams in implementing scalable, impactful green interventions. The guide is available for free download below. 

Why BIDs are turning to green infrastructure

Across the UK, BIDs are prioritising projects that deliver on multiple fronts, from environmental goals to economic growth. Green infrastructure addresses core challenges faced by many districts:

• • • Reduced urban heat through vegetation and shading
    • Improved air quality and biodiversity
    • Increased footfall and dwell time in commercial areas
    • Enhanced public safety, wellbeing and placemaking
    • Alignment with environmental policy and planning frameworks
    • Visible ESG impact for local authorities and stakeholders

What was once a “nice to have” is now a strategic investment in the future of cities.

What’s inside the guide?

Developed for BID managers, urban planners and regeneration teams, this guide is both accessible and practical. It includes:

• • Case studies from high streets and town centres across the UK
  • Proven return on investment from greening projects
  • Recommendations aligned with national and local policies
  • Quick-win interventions for immediate visual and functional impact
  • Insights from leading experts on climate adaptation and urban design
