The project:
Urbanization is a constantly growing phenomenon, which often causes the transformation of green areas into gray and concreted spaces. This Urban sprawl accelerates the negative effects of climate changesuch as urban heat islands. The GreenScape-CE project aims to reverse the trend by restoring greenery to urban areas.
The project intends to strengthen planning skills and experiment the application of nature-based solutions (NBS) and of approaches to green infrastructure in five cities, which are significantly affected by urban heat island effects.

Project objectives:
GreenScape CE aims to lay the foundation for theintegration of green infrastructure and Nature-Based Solutions in urban areasthus contributing to climate-proof landscape and urban planning.
Through the improvement of local policies, a learning approach peer-to-peer on a cross-border scale and through the cooperative development of action plans, the project aims to equip governments and local communities with the necessary skills to create and finance viable NBS projects, which will alleviate environmental and socio-economic impacts of the risks associated with climate change in urban areas.
