Mayesbrook Park - Green Infrastructure Case Study: Creating the UK’s first climate change park in east London (NE394)

The Mayesbrook Park project demonstrates how a green infrastructure approach to urban river restoration is a strong alternative to traditional hard engineering. By using green infrastructure to address flood-water management, the project has created an attractive public amenity, while the communities that surround the park and the wildlife within it are now able to cope better with the effects of climate change.
