The project “Enabling Green and Blue Infrastructure Potential in Complex Social-Ecological Regions” (ENABLE) aims to advance knowledge of designing and implementing Green and Blue Infrastructure (GBI) in a way that maximises its potential to deliver numerous social and environmental benefits, such as social inclusion, health and human wellbeing, storm water retention and habitat functions. ENABLE uses a transdisciplinary approach to investigate the role of GBI in tackling a range of social-ecological challenges facing cities.
ENABLE will test possible GBI solutions to urban challenges in the metropolitan regions of Halle (Germany), Barcelona (Spain), Łódź (Poland), Stockholm (Sweden) and Oslo (Norway), while also exchanging with the City of New York (US).
Webinar #1 will introduce the project and give insights into ways of determining how accessible green spaces are and how they are distributed among urban residents in order for all urban citizens to benefit from them.
