A new study has found that for every £1 invested into the Connswater Community Greenway, at least £1.34 is generated for the local economy.
A research report by the university and the UKPRP GroundsWell consortium has highlighted the positive impact that the popular East Belfast greenway has on the area and its economy as it can provide a return of investment up to £1.59 for every £1 spent.
It used the Connswater Community Greenway as a case study in order to analyse the social return on investment provided by an urban regeneration project, and the role of urban green and blue spaces in improving the economic, social, environmental, and health-related outcomes of urban populations.
