Resilience – Sustainability – Wellbeing

Join our new community of researchers.

Real, long-lasting, resilient and sustainable infrastructure-led transformations in port cities and coastal towns​.

iPACT is a new, vibrant, multi-disciplinary community of researchers and research users developing affordable, sustainable, evidence-based, people-centric infrastructure systems solutions for improving social well-being and prosperity to level up coastal communities through resilient, net zero regeneration.

“We have £500,000 available for Pilot Study projects, which will be developed by iPACT members in a series of sandpits in early 2023.” Prof William Powrie, University of Southampton

The infrastructure for Port cities And Coastal Towns network – iPACT – aims to identify people-focused, infrastructure-based solutions to the complex problem of improving social well-being and prosperity in coastal communities through resilient and sustainable regeneration. A key emphasis will be on taking advantage of the coastal location.
