A view down the site at Citu in Leeds. A large red sign in middle distance reads Welcome to the Climate Innovation District. Beds of green vegetation and low stone walls are either side of a wide gravel path and lots of white clouds fill the skyline.
A miniature physical model of Citu’s Climate Innovation District is laid out on a table in a room. Through the large window behind it you can a swirly yellow and pink design on the building’s forecourt.
People strolling down the narrow pedestrianised street at Citu, walking away from the camera. You can see the walls of the energy-saving buildings on either side. Bright bunting made from material of different colours is draped across the street.
Lots of interest in our work and @leedsclimatecom.bsky.social at our #UKREiiF fringe event with Citu. Great to tour the site and hear from MD Jonathan Wilson, also Jonathan Moxon of Aire Resilience Company, Steph Hepworth of @naturenorth.bsky.social and Helen McNally of @thegreenestate.bsky.social
