The COPE project works to bring citizens closer to the green transition by supporting local initiatives and strengthening community involvement. On this page you can learn more about Pombal's work with engaging residents and local groups in shaping a greener and more inclusive city.
Pombal is turning its Historic Centre into a living laboratory for sustainability — and citizens are at the heart of this transformation. Through the URBACT COPE network, residents, shop owners, local associations, and municipal teams have co-created solutions for greener public spaces, energy-efficient homes, and sustainable mobility. From planting trees and installing shading structures to testing pedestrian-friendly streets and creating reward systems for eco-friendly behaviors, every action reflects a shared vision: a vibrant, inclusive, and climate-resilient city. By combining open governance, adaptive leadership, and community-driven innovation, Pombal proves that the green transition starts locally — with people shaping the future of their own streets.
