Space for restoration: In urban areas, where available space is limited, river restoration projects are frequently restricted. However, there is potential to deliver improvements in physical condition, along with significant environmental and social benefits, by using innovative approaches. For example, there may be opportunities to remove redundant structures and buildings, and restore derelict land alongside rivers in order to improve local amenity and environment. Because of the lack of space in urban areas, some cities have also been developing stepping-stone concepts for restoring the networks of their water bodies. Such stepping-stone approaches involve starting restoration from the outskirts and peri-urban areas and moving step-by-step towards the more central urban areas, which are more difficult to restore.
