The CSI project aims to raise awareness and understanding of the role that the environment plays in promoting more sustainable regeneration, and particularly the impact of landscape quality on investment location decisions. It does so by facilitating the exchange of knowledge between and within three spheres of activity: research, policy and practice. Specific activities that are being delivered by the CSI project, and which help in this three-way exchange of knowledge, skills and practice include:
