The study is closely linked to North East England. It draws extensively on data science and social science research methods, including participation and co-design with the local stakeholders (residents, artists, ornithologists, architects, urban designers/planners, NGOs and council representatives, etc).

Through participatory sessions, we aim to involve diverse participants in collaboration and co-creation. Together, we will explore how inclusive strategies and participatory methods can be integrated into urban ecological planning and nature-based solutions. This approach seeks to improve urban planning, governance, and policies to better address socio-ecological complexity.

We warmly invite you to get involved! Join our events, respond to open calls, participate in the urban survey, and collaborate with local communities in co-design initiatives. Together, we can find innovative urban solutions that foster biodiversity and support urban adaptation.
