Green Heart of the City. REPAIR in Swansea: biophilic design, community care, and climate resilience working as one.
Work is well underway on the ground-breaking “REPAIR: Retrofitting for the Future: Nature-Based Solutions for Climate Adaptation” project. The ambition is to transform the urban landscape by integrating nature, wellbeing, and sustainability. The four-year project is one of just three across the UK chosen for funding through AHRC’s new Mission Awards. Through this project, the city of Swansea, Wales, is set to become a beacon of sustainable, nature-led urban living. This innovative, four-year, £3 million initiative, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), is pioneering a new way to adapt older urban buildings to the challenges of climate change and wellbeing.
