Sustainability of Brownfield Regeneration for Soft Reuse: A Case Study of Port Sunlight River Park (PSRP). Summary Report.
The aim of this study has been to assess the overall sustainability gain (economic, environmental and social benefits) of transforming a former landfill site in the Wirral to a riverside park, the Port Sunlight River Park (PSRP). The Land Trust are particularly interested to have a financial evaluation of these sustainability benefits to help demonstrate the value that the park has generated and will continue to generate to stakeholders. The study was a co-operation between the Land Trust, the University of Brighton and Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences (China) who supplied a PhD student on a one year secondment to carry out the research over 2016. The report was further refined until May 2017.
