GreenPlace in Quarto d’Altino: Building a Green and Smart Hub of Archaeology, Nature and Community

A European project for greener and more participatory cities

GreenPlace is a European project under the URBACT programme, involving cities committed to developing more sustainable, inclusive, and participatory local policies, starting from one key element: the regeneration of green public spaces. Quarto d’Altino is taking part in GreenPlace with an ambitious yet deeply grounded challenge — to bring new life to the historic village of Altino and reconnect it to its urban, rural, and lagoon surroundings through an integrated, green, and smart development model.
Through the project Green & Smart Altinum Hub, the Municipality aims to transform Altino into a multifunctional hub where culture, nature, soft mobility, and social innovation converge to create new opportunities for residents, visitors, and local businesses.

Finalising our City Centre Playbook and finding inspiration in Celje: takeaways from our Fifth Quarterly Network Report

Throughout this first quarter of the year, the URBACT Local Groups (ULGs) in each city have been deeply involved in a series of collaborative meetings.

ULGs seek to drive meaningful progress that aligns with the overarching objectives of the network while addressing the unique challenges and opportunities within their respective cities.

“Culture is not just an act of consumption, it is a dynamic process of creation.” This statement sums up the mission of the ITN REinventing Culture in Urban Places (RECUP) Network, an initiative funded by the European URBACT programme, which is reinventing the role of culture in urban (and peri-urban) places. Coordinated by Újbuda, RECUP brings together six European cities to explore how cultural co-creation can help confront complex urban challenges—from isolation to sense of belonging.
