ABSTRACT
This final stand-alone chapter by Judith Hin and Susanne Wuijts look at some scenarios developed in the BlueHealth project and then indicates areas for policy interventions around the challenges and opportunities for blue space urban planning. It starts with some of the major issues facing urban areas, then introduces the concept of scenarios and how to develop them. The examples of city profiles and results of scenario workshops in several of the BlueHealth research cities are summarised. From this analysis, the challenges for urban blue space planning are identified, leading to potential policy interventions and future research areas and the practical challenges associated with blue spaces. The importance of inter/transdisciplinary and trans-sector approaches across groups and institutions is emphasised.
