Guidelines on Ecological Designs and Management of Urban Habitats (Disused Docks)

The main findings from the various studies of the URBANE project were summarised in three booklets outlining various methods on ecological habitat enhancements, improvements in the design of the structures to minimise impacts on the natural environment and techniques for habitat improvement in disused docks using the case study of the Liverpool Docks.
