NovelEco is a citizen science project funded by the European Research Council, designed to explore how people perceive urban wild spaces. The project focuses on gathering ecological and social data to understand the dynamics of urban ecosystems, particularly those that develop in unexpected or overlooked areas of cities.

Walkability, an initiative by the Walk21 Foundation, a UK charity, aims to make walking safer, more accessible, and enjoyable for people of all ages and abilities.
