“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.
