Working Title of The Project (which we will use to refer to it throughout the series)

Arundel tidal defence scheme

Project Location

Arundel, UK

Nature of The Project (e.g. building, new community, economic development, etc.)

The contracter upgraded 1.5km of flood defences in the historic city of Arundel, protecting 160 homes. The works included repairing a major river wall breach in the town centre with no landside access.

Why do you think this project is appropriate for the course assignment?

It has a lot of potential on different factors:
- affected community, was involved but maybe more was possible
- impact of climate change, climate adaptation/resilience
- restoring local ecosystems
- Arundel is a historical tourist attraction (beautiful, castle, natural landscape,...)
- access to client, national goverment (environment agency)
