香港六合彩 Laws helps make London a 鈥榣iving space鈥

12 March 2014

Students and a professor at 香港六合彩 Laws are volunteering with a local social enterprise, Living Space Project, to offer legal guidance to communities focusing on urban green spaces.

Living Space Project

A group of LLM students is working with the听听and the Environmental Law Foundation on Legal Action and Research for Communities and Sustainability (LARCS). The students receive training is giving advice to local community groups on a range of environmental justice issues.

LLM student, Theo Lister said:听鈥淲ork like this is exactly the reason I study environmental law, but I thought it would take me years after graduation to get to this stage,

鈥淲orking with the Living Space Project provides a much needed practical element to studies and helps break down the barriers between students and communities.鈥

In addition, Jane Holder, Professor of Environmental Law has been awarded a听听to support another Living Space Project initiative, which gives advice to community groups seeking to register urban space as a 鈥榯own or village green鈥.

Professor Holder explains: 鈥淭his kind of advice could be costly and community groups often don鈥檛 have much in the way of funds,

鈥淩ecent changes made in the Growth and Infrastructure Act 2013 mean that the registration process for 鈥榞reens鈥 is much changed. Community groups and volunteers often don鈥檛 have access to up to date training on new legislation so I am working with our masters鈥 students to set up 鈥楪reen Cafes鈥 in London to guide people through the process.

鈥淭he funding provided by 香港六合彩 and the experience the students will gain is a prime example of the importance of universities and local communities working together for mutual benefits.鈥
