The interdisciplinary project aims to examine questions about living within diverse communities and ways of reimagining green spaces to promote a sense of belonging in Leeds.

The funding will support developing an evidence-based spatial analysis, community-use mapping and cultural and community behaviour attitudes towards Leeds Green Spaces, underpinned by under-represented community voices and interests in the city's parks and green spaces.
