Creating a Setting for Investment (CSI) is a European project demonstrating the links between landscape improvements and economic investment decisions. Investment decisions are shaped by a variety of factors including skilled labour, proximity to markets, transport infrastructure and supply chain.
Investment decisions are also affected by the environmental quality of the area and the attractiveness of the immediate surroundings of regeneration and investment locations.
No substantive work has been undertaken to assess how environmental quality is weighed alongside other investment factors. Across North West Europe, this project is quantifying the impact of environmental improvements on investment decision making. We are generating a body of information to influence planning policy and strategic development, and to shape the nature of new investments.
The CSI website includes details on the progress and outputs of the project. The website is an invaluable resource providing access to information, resources, discussion, publications and links to a range of organisations interested in environmental regeneration, investment planning and strategic development. |
