PURPLE's Topic Papers

The PURPLE regions are working together to produce background papers on policy areas of particular relevance to peri-urban regions.

Each paper will set out the key issues on a particular topic, and will be backed up with examples of current initiatives and publications from PURPLE regions uploaded to this website.  The aim is increase awareness and understanding,  to raise issues of importance, to share our experience on practical solutions to problems and showcase innovation and good practice.

Topic Paper 1 - Climate Change and the response in peri-urban regions (more examples)

Topic Paper 2 - Biodiversity in Peri-Urban regions (to follow)
Topic Paper 3 - Europe's Food Security - the role of peri-urban regions (to follow)

These pages are currently under production and more information as well as new topics will follow shortly.
