Ursula SUE2

Urban River Corridors and Sustainable Living Agendas

Universities of Sheffield, Bradford and Durham

This consortium is focussing on the significant social, economic and environmental gains to be made by integrated and innovative interventions in urban river corridors. URSULA?is tackling river corridor issues holistically by treating the river and its urban setting as a system. Over 4 years the?project will produce innovations, tools and knowledge to help guide the regeneration of urban river corridors worldwide.
