On 14 May 2025, elected representatives from the GreenPlace network committed themselves to further pursue their actions in this regard, and in particular to:
• Consider revitalisation as a priority, envisaging green solutions—be they in terms of Nature-Based Solutions, Circular Economy (and energy), or Cultural Heritage;
• Ensure that residents and users are taken into consideration throughout the entire development of local projects;
• Related to this, create local groups, based on URBACT Local Groups or newly created ones, to become key partners in the implementation of the solutions; and
• Ensure regular monitoring, feedback, evaluation, and readjustment of the solutions.
The present elected representatives signed a non-binding commitment, which expressed their interest and motivation in further pursuing this approach.
The Commitment was signed by:
• Sr. Presidente João Henriques, Mayor, Vila Nova de Poiares
• Jorge Brito, Intermunicipal Executive Secretary, CIM
• Marek Hattas, Mayor, Nitra
• Vicent Bou, Councillor, Onda
• Dan McSweeney, Councillor, Limerick
• Ana-Maria Boghean, Councillor, Bucharest
