Periurban Parks Project (2010-2012)

PERIURBAN is an INTERREG IVC project, which uses interregional exchange of experiences to improve policies on management of natural periurban areas.

PERIURBAN focuses specifically on policy and management solutions to mitigate pressures on biodiversity.

Focus on the creation and management of parks in natural suburban areas, in line with European environment policy and redevelopment in suburban areas, can impact positively on the environment and on halting biodiversity loss.
