    “Green placemaking” – Why communication and engagement is key in changing the way we think about urban green spaces

    Many cities around the world are experimenting with engaging residents in green space
    maintenance and at the same time, communicating about the benefits of nature, nudging locals to
    a more pro-environmental behaviour. This is a core theme of the BiodiverCity network as well,
    and the case of Dunaújváros, Hungary highlights the need for resilient, biodiversity-driven green
    space management in the shadow of climate change.

    Same Journey; new stages…

     

    As I write this, I’ve just changed trains - moving to the next phase of a journey to another country in Europe. Whilst this current train journey is not related to the Digi-Inclusion project, that is a very different situation to the months before the New Year, when Digi-Inclusion travel was pretty much all I knew!

     

    The initial period of any URBACT project is an intense yet rewarding experience, and that time last year was no exception – getting to see first-hand the starting point of all our nine project partners in the network, visiting each one in turn to meet their municipal teams, local stakeholders and partners, and to get a sense of the place and it’s local context.
