The Sustainable Urban Fringes (SURF) project brings together partners and experts from across the North Sea Region to exchange information and develop a common approach towards the sustainability of urban fringe areas.
Urban Fringes are recognised as valuable assets, which can provide a high quality environment in an urban setting, creating vital areas for the health and well being of local communities.
Find out about progress in the second year of the Sustainable Urban Fringes project from our SURF Annual Report 2010 - 2011
