GreenPlace

Restoring “forgotten” urban areas into valuable places FOR and WITH residents

01/06/2023 31/12/2025

Ongoing

GreenPlace is an URBACT network consisting of ten partners who aim at developing a set of activities for "recycling" unused urban areas, using social participation tools. The project takes into account not only the regional specificities and conditions of each of the partners but also introduces greenery as a key factor in limiting climate change in urban areas.
