Built

This URBAN GreenUp European research project involves exploring innovative design to re-nature urbanisation to create green spaces, improve air quality, increase biodiversity and manage surface water.

This URBAN GreenUp European research project involves exploring innovative design to re-nature urbanisation to create green spaces, improve air quality, increase biodiversity and manage surface water. A key aspect of the project is to measure environmental, social and economic impacts of a range of retrofitted natural interventions within the city and has involved collaborative design of green infrastructure routes. Interventions along the routes have included green walls, floating ecosystems, sustainable drainage, tree planting, pollinator verges and an interactive sculpture trail.

Resilient London: confronting climate change

Resilient London: confronting climate change

This URBAN GreenUp European research project involves exploring innovative design to create green spaces, improve air quality, increase biodiversity and manage surface water. The Liverpool Urban GreenUP Project has seen the installation of several nature-based interventions on public and private land. Evidence based monitoring has established baseline data and a further two years monitoring of air and water quality, biodiversity and socio-economic impacts, demonstrates the benefits of green infrastructure to landowners and is leading to further similar projects throughout the city.
