  • 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).

  • KRAKOW TRANSFER STORY

    That day the phones kept ringing. The e-mail inbox repeatedly informed me about new e-mails, of which there were more than 50 ... Invitations from the radio and TV to share more about the project that aroused such interest among the residents, that just three years ago would have been something unimaginable. All this was due to an article that appeared on our website which informed people about the start of a new project. The "Gardeniser +" project with Erasmus Plus which we invited residents to join. Without the RU:RBAN project all this would not have happened.
