TURNING SPACES INTO PLACES
People want to surround themselves with nature. The desire to feel calm and peaceful, to escape the stresses of everyday life, to connect with the natural world and its beauty, and to improve their mental and physical health. We strive to create these environments.
Future Village (new home of Plantabox & People Parkers) offers innovative and sustainable solutions for delivering free-standing green infrastructure to areas where access to green space is limited. This involves our products combining and being placed in urban environments without excavation or penetration.
Our nature-based approach creates an ecosystem that enhances the aesthetic appeal of local neighbourhoods and also reduces ambient air temperature and heat penetration, effectively mitigating urban heat islands.
For placemaking, local communities gain opportunities for relaxation, social interaction and physical activity which can help reduce stress, and improve mental health. For local business there is increase in patronage and revenue. For local government a flexible way to test community attitude to permanent changes in infrastructure usage.
Overall, Future Village is committed to creating sustainable solutions that benefit both people and the environment
