  • Agents of change - Agueda's transfer story

    CREATIVE SPIRITS is a network of nine European cities, funded by the European Union in the frame of the URBACT III Programme. The nine CREATIVE SPIRITS partner cities have a common need to improve the implementation of their existing integrated urban strategies/action plans by including novel approaches linked to creative and cultural industries (CCI) – creative places, people and businesses. The joint policy challenge for the network is to better facilitate the above “creative ecosystem” to be able to attract (more) creative entrepreneurs and boost creative entrepreneurship in dedicated urban areas.

  • 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).
