Citizen Engagement in Bistrita's Green Transition

Citizen Engagement in Pombal's Green Transition

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.
