From Recognition to Action: UWTSD Highlights Project REPAIR's Role in Swansea's Biophilic Future
9th May 2026
Following Swansea's recognition as a Biophilic City, partners across the city have been reflecting on the collaborative work that helped make this milestone possible.
A recent article published by the University of Wales Trinity Saint David (UWTSD) highlights the contribution of Project REPAIR and the involvement of students from Surface Pattern and Textiles and Construction Management programmes in exploring how biophilic living can support more sustainable and resilient futures. The article also showcases the work of UWTSD's Assistive Technologies Innovation Centre (ATiC) and UNESCO-MOST BRIDGES Research Centre, both of which contribute to REPAIR's transdisciplinary approach.
The story has since been picked up by a number of media outlets, reflecting the growing interest in Swansea's place within the global Biophilic Cities Network and the city's commitment to integrating nature, well-being and climate resilience into urban development.
For Project REPAIR, this coverage highlights the importance of collaboration between universities, public bodies, industry partners and communities in shaping more nature-connected futures. It also demonstrates how students can play an active role in addressing real-world environmental changes through creative and technical innovation.
