We launched the iPACT brochure at today’s Showcase in London. You can now read about all the iPACT projects and the impact of working in teams from different research backgrounds.

Prof William Powrie, iPACT Primary Investigator wrote

“iPACT network academics worked closely with project partners include Southampton City Council, Lancaster City Council, Eden North and Coastal Partnership East (North Norfolk District Council, Great Yarmouth Borough Council, Waveney District Council and Suffolk Coastal District Council). Case study areas of Southampton, North Norfolk and Morecambe encapsulate the issues faced by the spectrum of port cities and coastal towns, including juxtaposition with major international ports, seaside resorts declining in popularity and historic communities with an ageing population facing coastal erosion and sea-level rise.

Reports from a series of WeValue community-based consultations informed three workshops with iPACT researchers,
one in each case study location. From these we developed six pilot projects, to assess the feasibility of potential solutions. The outcomes of these projects are summarised in this brochure.

Although the Pilot Projects and the initial grant funding are now at an end, the iPACT network continues as a collaborative research and user community to develop and help implement sustainable infrastructure solutions that improve the wellbeing, resilience and sustainability of the UK’s coastal settlements for decades to come.”
