Day 3. 5 Planning for Resilience: South Essex Estuary Park
Summary
We are faced with unprecedented challenges, including climate change and flooding, biodiversity loss, threats to health and well-being, and lack of access to open space. Creative use of green and blue infrastructure is one of the most promising actions for adaptation to rapidly changing circumstances. This needs to be recognised in the planning process at a strategic level. This presentation looks at how South Essex local authorities have come together, understanding a cross-boundary approach is required to address these significant challenges. It outlines ‘key moves’ developed within the GBI Study and presents a new model for integrated planning and development.
