Bibliographical note
Note: Glenn Millar, the Economic Development Manager for Canal & River Trust said: ‟The appointment of the Landscape Interface Studio to support the Waterways Forward partnership brings an imaginative multi-disciplinary approach to spatial planning with new media communication.”Impact: 11 policy recommendations were developed by the project and delivered to the European Commission in February 2013. Waterways Forward partners identified both measures that might reinforce the role of inland waterways in delivering Europe 2020, the European Union strategy for smart, sustainable, inclusive growth and policy gaps/ barriers to effective regional and local action. Project partners including Pat Brown, representing Kingston University, attended a Brussels briefing of EU transport officials to present the Waterways Forward project policy recommendations to the European Commission. Jean-Marc Venineaux, the EC‘s Directorate General for Regional Policy and Cesare Bernabei, Directorate General for Energy and Transport outlined the Commission‘s approach to future funding for Inland Waterways.
