The aim of the conference is to reflect on the important changes that have occurred in relation to the way we view water in the urban environment and in particular urban river corridors. We will look at the range of future measures that will be required to meet existing and future requirements posed by development, regeneration, climate change and well-being agendas to further enhance the urban water environment. The conference is the place to be for those interested in urban planning, development and regeneration, professionals working with issues in the urban environment such as flooding and the use of SuDs, ecologists interested in urban river ecosystems, and those looking to plan water into urban areas. With high profile speakers from the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment, the Environment Agency, and the University of Sheffield, and sessions to discuss the information and ideas presented, the conference promises to be both a fascinating and productive forum on the issues facing urban river corridors.
