The Sustainable Urban Environments Programme is an EPSRC funded portfolio of research looking at ways of improving sustainability in the urban environment. Spanning 30 different UK Universities, this programme has funded 18 consortia in different areas including waste, water management, transport planning and strategy, spatial planning, regeneration and stakeholder engagement. You can find out more about SUE using the SUE Gateway search portal:
Kate Beckmann, ISSUES Project Manager says “The Sustainable Urban Environments programme (SUE) is a major UK initiative, involving 30 universities and over £46 million of funding. As a result it has produced a diverse range of outputs, including a range of environmental tools. We were therefore delighted to learn about the Environment Tools initiative, as it is extremely useful for us to have a single location through which to showcase these tools. Environment Tools provides an ideal portal through which we can disseminate the tool-based results of such a large research programme. It has provided a customised platform to showcase the combined outputs of the programme, and has presented the tools in a functional and attractive manner.” Below is a list of tools developed by consortia within the SUE project.
