  • A CORUÑA TRANSFER STORY

    Our starting points and ambitions

    The most relevant starting-points for the Ru:rban implementation in Coruña were:

    • The existence of a public initiative of the policy of urban gardens (top-down).
    • The emerging interest of 4 different departments responsible for the city governance towards the strategic added value of Urban gardens (Environment, Culture and Education, Markets and Employment)
    • Creation (in 2018) of 3 new public urban gardens in 3 different neighbourhoods and locations (112 plots in Agora, 75 in Eirís and 30 in Novo Mesoiro) and 3 plots for social integration projects in Carlos Casares Park.
    • Existence of a public call for the selection of people who manage urban gardens and their conditions of use and a second call for the assignation of the three plots for social integration projects in Carlos Casares.
    • Start-up of the urban garden monitors course (in 2018 and 2019).
