Improving Infrastructure

The NWDA plays an important role in influencing the strategic
planning of the
region’s infrastructure, including provision for transport, energy and waste. We are also involved in
shaping policies for housing and employment sites, as well as
assisting in the delivery of strategic regional
sites.
The NWDA also works in the areas of sustainable building and
design quality, which
are important considerations in the provision of the region’s
infrastructure.
Green Infrastructure
The region’s green infrastructure is its network of natural
spaces, from rivers to moorland. Much of what the NWDA does
regarding green infrastructure is covered by its work on the
natural economy,
environmental quality and
land regeneration.
