Project summary
Led by the University of Surrey’s Global Centre for Clean Air Research (GCARE) in partnership with the Universities of Bath, Sheffield, UWE Bristol, and Imperial College London, GP4Streets (DIY Greening Prescription for Climate Adaptation in Urban Streets) is an innovative research project funded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) under the Maximising UK Adaptation to Climate Change initiative.
Backed by £2M in funding over 30 months, the project aims to transform urban climate adaptation strategies through close collaboration with the King's Climate Adaptation Hub, the Met Office, and several non-academic partners.
This project recognises that streets are the heart of our neighbourhoods, yet they are often the most deprived areas in terms of green-blue-grey infrastructure (GBGI). Our vision is to transform these urban spaces into resilient, sustainable environments through innovative, do-it-yourself (DIY) GBGI solutions.
