Part of the Interreg Euro-MED Green Living Areas programme, a new European project will support the creation of an urban green space in Rome that is resilient to climate change, in collaboration with community urban gardens and the Monte Ciocci community.
Replay Network aps will be the key actor in Rome, facilitating the connection and training of stakeholders in the new RealUrbanGreen project. We will support community-led change through a process of co-design and co-construction of an urban green space that is resilient to climate change and combines ecology, innovation and active participation.
The project, implemented by Risorse per Roma S.p.A. on assignment from the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Waste Cycle of Rome Capital of Sabrina Alfonsi and Rome's 14th Municipality, aims to address the issue of water collection and recovery to enable the Monte Ciocci Urban Gardens to increase their capacity to welcome new gardeners and cooperate with local actors.
RealUrbanGreen is a project that promotes the Green Living Areas mission within the Interreg Euro-MED Green Living Areas programme and aims to improve citizens' lives through the participatory development of green areas, promoting well-being, social inclusion and biodiversity. The work will be based on placemaking, a process that transforms a physical space into a place through community collaboration and the co-construction of valuable and welcoming public spaces, creating a deeper connection between residents and their environment.
RealUrbanGreen involves 7 countries (Portugal, Spain, Italy, Slovenia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Cyprus, Greece) and is promoted by I Borghi Piu' Belli D'Italia, Javne-sluzbe-Ptuj, Fundación MUSOL, Universitat de València, Cyprus Energy Agency, Grad Sarajevo - City Of Sarajevo, Risorse per Roma, Commonspace Coop, and Make it Better.
