VALUE stands for ‘Valuing Attractive Landscapes in the Urban Economy’ and is a project funded through the European Union Interreg IVB programme for North West Europe. The project brings together 9 project partner organisations in Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands and the UK.
The Challenge is to establish where to target green infrastructure investments in cities and regions to deliver the greatest economic benefits while ensuring that high quality green infrastructure is protected and integral to the urban fabric.
Prosperous Communities - quality green infrastructure is vital to support strong and prosperous communities throughout North West Europe. This is particularly important as urban greenspaces are being built on because they are currently seen as less valuable than other land uses. By promoting awareness of the value of green infrastructure and attractive landscapes VALUE aims to help raise the value of development of quality open spaces and improve social cohesion.
