Vision

European cities are rethinking how streets and public spaces contribute to climate resilience, livability, and inclusion. Streets Alive will connect cities piloting temporary pedestrianization, car‑free weekends, and creative temporary uses of public space to test how tactical actions can reduce emissions, cool city centers, and strengthen community engagement.

LONGER SUMMARY

1. Project Overview
 

The city is facing increasing impacts from climate change, particularly higher temperatures and stronger urban heat island effects in dense neighbourhoods and school environments. In response, the municipality is already implementing a broader urban greening strategy and is seeking to accelerate this work by transforming vacant land and neglected spaces into new green living areas.
