Green
Exciting plans are afoot to make Carlisle one of the best places in the UK to live, work and enjoy by creating a green and sustainable city region.
Carlisle's open spaces - its parks, gardens, rivers, woodlands, fields, cemeteries, allotments - are all part of a city-wide green infrastructure. A ‘green' environment is regarded as crucial for driving economic growth and regeneration, reducing carbon emissions and pollution, and improving health and quality of life for all residents.
With a wealth of environmental assets on its doorstep, Carlisle was recently rated as already having a 97% green infrastructure, and is well placed to develop its environmental credentials for the benefit of investors.
