BIODIVERSITY AND RENATURALISATION OF URBAN AREAS

Hi, I’m writing in the name of AMbienteParco a Science Center in Brescia (IT) on sustainability. We are an experience of regeneration of an urban area, and we need to improve it with Natural Based Solutions (Green and Blue Roofs and Walls). We are a natural biodiversity corridor with a small lake. we have exhibitions on sustainability for 25.000 visitors/year (from schools and families). We have NO experience with EU project.
Waiting for your interest, best regards cristina.guerra@ambienteparco.it

In behalf of City of Skopje, Macedonia, I would like to express an interest to participate in a project if we share similar priorities. My contact details: Natasha Amdiju, natasha.amdiju@euda.eu and phone: +38978288238 (Viber and WhatsUp). Please let me know if you are interested.

Over the past few years, the municipality has participated in European projects (LIFE programme) about green procurement and sustainable procurement, such as GreenMED and Building SPP project, and PRO EE (IEE funding); RENERGY (Interreg IVC funding).
Torres Vedras Municipality has stood out for its entrepreneurial capacity demonstrated over the last years, implementing a wide range of interventions in the areas of urban planning and regeneration, socio-economic and cultural development, sustainable mobility and energy efficiency, managing with effectiveness and efficiency the financial resources available from national and European founding programmes.
The mission of Torres Vedras Municipality is to ensure the implementation of laws about the environment, promote sustainable development of the municipality and improving the quality of life of its citizens.

In addition, there are strong links with life sciences, environmental sciences and engineering, which render CICS.NOVA’s scientific research particularly original and comprehensive.

Dear All

I am writing you from development agency of the Town of Korčula – Croatia.

We are a small town located on the north east shore of the island https://goo.gl/maps/M33CzquaEeRU5TaD8

On the eastern limits of a town a ferry port(which is planned to be relocated in next 2-4 years) and an industrial area is located. Also there is an underwater archeological site nearby, whole area is under Natura 2000 protection, towns archipelago with natural and cultural sites is in the vicinity, whole area is under pressure of nautical tourism etc.

We are aiming to revitalize this area and include it back into the town(give it back to its citizens) on the principle of green and blue infrastructure, smart/sustainable entrepreneurship, inclusion, restoring/protecting natural and cultural environment.

In doing so we are looking a project trough which we could gather and study data, develop and evaluate different revitalization options (or create method to so) in order to support decision makers with the reliable and objective information.

I hope we can find common interest in us being partners on the project.

Looking forward to your feedback.
