  • The Royal Parks Sustainability Policy
    The Royal Parks Sustainability Policy The Royal Parks charity manages over 5,000 acres of historic parkland and open spaces across London. This includes eight Royal parks: Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, St James’s Park, The Green Park, Regent’s Park & Primrose Hill, Richmond Park, Greenwich Park and Bushy Park. The charity also manages other important green spaces in London, including Victoria Tower Gardens and Brompton Cemetery. The eight Royal Parks have been awarded Green Flag status, which recognises them as some of the UK’s best-kept green spaces and heritage landscapes. The nature quality of the Royal Parks is recognised through a number of international, national and local nature conservation designations. We believe that all aspects of our operation should be carried out in a way that takes advantage of enhancement opportunities, minimises our adverse impacts on the environment, while maintaining the economic viability of the parks. Therefore, we have developed a Sustainability Strategy that focuses on four key pillars: • Conserve and enhance the unique landscapes, built heritage & biodiversity • People, education, fairness and improving wellbeing • Mitigation and adapting to climate change • Sustainable growth - providing environmentally excellent and financially viable green open spaces to the public Within these sustainability pillars, our key commitments include: • Effective conservation and enhancement of landscape, wildlife and buildings. • Promoting sustainability messages through learning and engagement programmes for audiences of all ages and backgrounds. • Enhancing biodiversity through appropriate management of The Royal Parks and participation in Partnerships. • Working with Event partners to deliver sustainable events, ensuring everything practicable is done to not negatively impact on biodiversity, maximise waste recycling, minimise greenhouse gas emissions from temporary power and mains water use (except where the mains water replaces bottled water).

  • The Top Five Films You Did Not Know Were Based on Roald Dahl Stories
    The top five films you didn’t know were based on Roald Dahl stories Many Roald Dahl stories have been turned into family film favourites that we know and love, but did you know there’s more than just the books? Roald Dahl is responsible for a number of classic screenplays and storylines that we wouldn’t normally associate him with. Here’s five of our favourites, which you can enjoy once again on the big screen as part of Roald Dahl on Film: 1. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Roald Dahl was responsible for the screenplay of this truly magical, musical film. In fact, it was Roald Dahl that added in the Child Catcher as an extra character – so he’s responsible for giving us all those nightmares when we were small! 2. 36 hours This war movie released in 1965 was based on the short story ‘Beware of the Dog’ by Roald Dahl, which was first published in Harper’s Magazine in 1946. The story was also said to have influenced television series, The Prisoner. 3. You Only Live Twice The screenplay of this James Bond classic was another of Roald Dahl’s after he was approached by James Bond producers, Harry Saltzman and Albert Broccoli. The screenplay was the first to stray from Ian Fleming’s original story, as Roald Dahl famously said that the original wasn’t Fleming’s best work. 4. Gremlins The 1984 Steven Spielberg film Gremlins features characters developed from one of Roald Dahl’s earliest books, The Gremlins. In fact, there’s every chance that it was Roald Dahl’s first ever book for children! It impressed his bosses at the British Embassy so much that they sent it to Walt Disney to make into a feature film.

Through review of effectiveness analysis and multi-criteria decision making, a uniform philosophy is created to articulate a framework that would enable a designer to more accurately assess what design alternatives are more important than others and how their changes affect the overall system being designed.
