The UERI Project is conducting in-depth desktop research and stakeholder consultation to develop an evidenced-based case for embedding urban ecology into decision making at the individual to metropolitan scale and within government policy and planning frameworks. The project is focused on three themes: Built Environment, Urban Biodiversity and Ecology, and Legal and Planning Policy. The project team comprises researchers from Macquarie, UNSW, Sydney and UTS universities and the CSIRO; the UNSW team members lead the Built Environment theme.
