Launch of £3m project that could re-shape regeneration - Jul08

SURegen partners held an official public launch at The Northern Urban Regeneration Exhibition and Conference (NUREC 2008) in Liverpool, on Monday 28th July 2008. Speaking at NUREC, sustainable urban development expert Professor Steve Curwell explained that the project asked why progress in regeneration had been "so painfully slow".

The aim of the 4-year project is to produce a web-based system that will offer a bank of online information to organisations about to embark on regeneration. Professor Curwell said of the project: "It will help decision makers in urban regeneration programmes to collaborate more effectively and to learn key lessons from past mistakes by using case studies of best practice."

Salford University was chosen by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) to lead the project, awarding £2.5m-worth of funding from its £38m Sustainable Urban Environment (SUE) research programme. Industrial partners have contributed an additional £0.5m.
