The Green Gap Framework is a resource for exploring and understanding who doesn’t use urban greenspace/local nature spaces, and why.
It’s for researchers, policy makers, planners, and practitioners in outdoor settings… in fact anyone interested in accessibility, inclusion and nature connection.
It was developed by researchers at CRESH, the University of Glasgow’s School of Health & and Wellbeing, outdoor consultant Rob Bushby, and other researchers, all working together as part of GroundsWell.

The best place to begin is our blog about the framework.
We have also developed a plain-language overview of the framework for practitioners, policy makers and the public:

The academic paper which describes how and why we developed the framework is open access and can be read here.
The Groundswell website also has a dedicated Green Gap section with lots more information and use-examples.
You can download images of the framework and its domains below.
GroundsWell is funded by the UK Prevention Research Partnership (MR/V049704/1).
