The project
Nature-based Solutions and innovative systems for assessment at the forefront of GreenInCities
GreenInCities aims to build a new co-creative, integrated, and collaborative approach for planning urban climate regeneration in deprived and dysfunctional areas through the development and testing of innovative co-analysis, co-designing, and co-monitoring tools and methodologies for people, technicians, and decision-makers.
Objectives
Co-creation
Participatory processes for planning, implementing and monitoring urban interventions.
Innovative tools and models
Adoption of new methods and data-driven models in urban regeneration.
Greening and re-naturing solutions
Enhance multifunctional and liveable spaces with the New European Bauhaus principles.
Raising awareness and inclusion of all
Facilitate knowledge about urban climate vulnerabilities to ensure no one is left behind.
Aligning with climate plans and policies
Improve the compatibility of green practices with urban, regional and national climate actions.
Supporting EU policies
Contribute to the European Green Deal, the New European Bauhaus, the Climate-neutral and smart cities mission, Adaptation to climate change and other policies.
Challenges
1.
Improve Societal Readiness Level and awareness of vulnerable groups living in deprived areas
2.
Go beyond the traditional understanding of greening and renaturing by including non-human health dimension and addressing concepts included in relevant EU policies and initiatives
3.
Leveraging cutting-edge technologies to enhance co-creation process and maximise urban regeneration impacts
A TAILORED CO-CREATION PROCESS
At the centre of GreenInCities there’s a customised co-creation approach designed around articulating interventions for all citizens, focusing on inclusivity and equity and the use of data-driven Nature-based Solutions.
