Peri-cene is an interdisciplinary research project that investigates peri-urbanisation and climate risk in city-regions around the world. The peri-urban provides essential ecosystem services and can increase the adaptive capacity of urban areas.Through spatial analysis, an innovative 'policy lab' and in-depth, qualitative case studies in India and the UK, the project is piloting practical tools to support policymakers in understanding climate risk and peri-urbanisation processes. Focusing on the adaptive governance of peri-urban areas will lead to the development of guidance to support policymakers in their understanding of peri-urbanisation and climate risk.
