QUERCUS

Quality Urban Environments for River Corridor Users and Stakeholders

QUERCUS is a project financed through EU LIFE, the European Commission's environmental fund.  Chester City Council is a partner in the project, along with the London Borough of Lewisham, and 's-Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands.  Each city features a river corridor with similar problems but of varying size, environmental and social characteristics.

The QUERCUS project aims to enhance each river corridor to be an attractive feature of an urban environment by transferring the approach of Designing Out Crime from housing developments and testing it in an environmental setting.

This Project is supported by the Life Environment Fund.
