Urban Regenerative Water Avant-garde(N)

Programme 2021 - 2027 Interreg VI-B EURO Mediterranean (EURO MED)

Date of latest update: 2026-10-22

Description

Description (EN):

Mediterranean areas face severe drought and water scarcity, becoming major issues and concrete societal challenges. Our living areas are highly vulnerable to the effect of climate change, experiencing more and more extreme events. At the same time, decision-makers plan investments in greening the cities without a long-term strategy on resource availability, impact, and related opportunities, while the transition towards a greener environment requires an integrated vision, harmonised knowledge and stakeholders’ empowerment. URWAN addresses the critical link between urban regeneration and resources, exploiting nature-based solutions’ role in integrating water management and climate change adaptation. The project involves 12 partners from 8 MED countries, who will jointly implement activities affecting the decision-making process to multiply the impacts of public funds. The partnership capitalises on innovative participatory approaches and existing NBSs while demonstrating the importance of making these solutions multifunctional. The URWAN Catalogue for final users harmonises knowledge of NBSs using a creative style able to reach all the local players and support the co-design of the proper NBSs to face the challenges. Further, URWAN transforms 2 public buildings into “water producers”, promoting green urban surfaces as a place-based transformative potential by implementing transnational experimental interventions. The project involves decision-makers and stakeholders in 12 cities to co-design multifunctional NBSs in a climate change scenario and deliver Road Maps towards adaptation. Thanks to the Amplification Strategy and the Nature-based solutions Enabler Pack, the partners demonstrate and transfer the joint solutions and mainstream NBSs. The avant-garde idea is to inspire decision-makers to valorise NBSs as resources for generating urban sustainability, beauty, and social inclusion, i.e., "needs behind functionality", as stated in the New European Bauhaus Initiative.

Description (FR):

Les régions méditerranéennes sont confrontées à une grave sécheresse et à une pénurie d'eau. Nos espaces de vie sont très vulnérables aux effets du changement climatique, subissant de plus en plus d'événements extrêmes. D’autre part, les collectivités locales investissent pour verdir les villes sans une stratégie à long terme, alors que la transition écologique nécessite une vision intégrée, des connaissances harmonisées et la responsabilisation des parties prenantes. URWAN aborde le lien entre la régénération urbaine et les ressources, en exploitant le rôle des Solutions fondées sur la Nature (SfN). Le projet implique 12 partenaires de 8 pays MED, qui mettront en œuvre conjointement des activités affectant le processus décisionnel pour multiplier les impacts des fonds publics. Le partenariat capitalise sur les approches participatives innovantes tout en démontrant l'importance de rendre ces solutions multifonctionnelles. Le Catalogue URWAN pour les utilisateurs finaux harmonise le savoir-faire en utilisant un style créatif capable d'atteindre tous les acteurs locaux. Pour cela, URWAN transformera 2 bâtiments publics en "producteurs d'eau", promouvant les surfaces urbaines vertes en mettant en œuvre des interventions expérimentales transnationales. Le projet implique des décideurs politiques et des parties prenantes dans 12 villes pour co-concevoir des SfN multifonctionnelles dans un scénario de changement climatique et fournir ainsi des feuilles de route vers l'adaptation. Grâce à la stratégie d'amplification et l’outil des SfN, les partenaires démontrent et transfèrent les SfN. L'idée avant-gardiste est d'inspirer les décideurs politiques à valoriser les SfN en tant que ressources pour générer la durabilité urbaine, la beauté et l'inclusion sociale, c'est-à-dire des «besoins derrière la fonctionnalité», comme indiqué dans la nouvelle initiative européenne du Bauhaus.

Actual Achievements (EN):

WP1 Produced the Methodology for stakeholder engagement (Past D.1.1.1) and developed an online portfolio to visualise identified Stakeholder Chain Map (Past D.1.1.2). A template for stakeholder meetings report has been prepared for PPs (Past D.1.1.3). Produced the Methodology for collecting the data (Past D.1.2.1) used by all PPs to design the planned partner level analyses (Past D.1.2.2). Set directions on the implementation of the study visits interview planned to be done during next period (D.1.2.1). Designed an online tool to support partners to describe the identified GPs in NbS to be included in the good practice collection (D.1.2.2). Back-to-back the partner meeting in Ragusa, on 17/04/24 has been organised the first Common co-design workshop to draft the catalogue (Past D.1.3.1) with the participation of all PPs, giving a clear guidance on the development of the catalogue identifying: for whom, what to include, number of solutions, what to look like. Designed the Internal Carbon Footprint monitoring Handbook and collected data from PPs WP2 Started the discussion on the scope of the pilots' dedicated webpages (D.2.1.1). PP2 conducted several B2B meetings with key stakeholders, including PP4, PP7, LP1, and relevant APs, to outline the required data for designing the pilots. A comprehensive presentation on the pilots was delivered to PPs during several physical and online meetings. PP2 visited Rome twice for technical inspections of the pilot site. Technical visit in Cuba is planned for July 2024 WP3 A3.1 Designed the guidelines for co-design methodology (START PARK TOOL KIT) and ROADMAP. PP2 Revised the existing guide (START PARK) and launched the tender for the selection of external support. Presented the main structure of the guideline to all PPs. PPs have been involved to define in which area the co-design process will be developed. This identification phase will be finalised in the next period with the PPs and selected experts, according to the WP2 and A.3.2 related activities, involving the pilot partner: LP1, PP3, PP4, PP6, PP7, PP8 A3.2 Selected the external experts (Kassandra project) for the implementation of the IDSS in the 3 pilot cities and presented the IDSS to PPs. PP3 met 2 times with Kassandra's team for planning activities and meetings with the PPs involved. PP3 and Kassandra's team initiated the process of implementing Intelligent Decision Support Systems (IDSS) in three cities: Ferla, Ptuj and Sarajevo. A meeting with PP6 and PP9 was developed to start the process of data collection and communication procedures. General freely available data, such as climate data, were collected and a project programme was drawn up. A low-resolution version of the Digital Twin was also created to assist with data visualisation at this early stage. PP3 and Kassandra's team conducted a KoM and site visit in Ferla (10/06/24) and an online preparatory meeting with PP6 (19/06/24) and PP9 (12/06/24) to present the data collection system, finalise the selection of the pilot area (2 km²) and describe the objective of the KoM and site visit. Overall, the first period has laid a strong foundation for the next phases of the project, ensuring that the collaborative processes, data systems and stakeholder engagement are well aligned for future activities WP4 A4.1 PP5 defined the amplification strategy structure, which includes: the objective, the actors involved, the outputs and results to be transferred, the activities to be implemented, a monitoring and evaluation system, plus detailed action plans for the capitalisation, transfer and mainstreaming. It also developed the synergies with both C4LA and D4LA and how the partnership of URWAN will collaborate with them A4.2 PP5 started the redaction of the Terms of Reference for the subcontracting of an external expert to develop the necessary methodological tools to collect the needs, hinders and opportunities for NbS mainstreaming, such as an interview guideline, a living lab methodology, an information exchange system and the training needs of the pilot cities, based on discussions about the needs of the project with all PPs. The identification of MED and EU cities with experience in the implementation of NbS is ongoing COMMUNICATION Launched the project website and social media (Facebook) and published news on PPs institutional websites and social media channels. Actively participated to activities of both C4LA and D4LA communities and to the Programme training and informative sessions. Presented URWAN in external events as: “VARCITIES project event” in Castelfranco Veneto (Italy); “Sustainable management and use of nature in cities” entirely dedicated to URWAN with 140 participants; online URWAN presentation to the City of Calgary (Canada); “City Vision”; "Our Water, Our Legacy: Current Solutions for Future Generations". Done an interview with a journalist from the newspaper Il Messaggero. Several articles have been published related to the participated events. Management During all the period a continuous project management has been carried on in order to support PPs to respect deadlines and find solutions to any operative problem incurred. The overall situation of the project implementation is aligned with the time plan set in the AF. LP1 has continued to update Basecamp with the project key production (Deliverables, outputs, and past deliverables), as well as with key project documents and information useful for PPs. 2 SC meetings have been organised (online and in Ptuj), 4 in total during 2024. Have been organised 5 WP leader meetings, 7 in total during 2024. Communication In the first year, we have participated in 10 external events as speaker presenting URWAN project. We have organised 2 communication events with 86 attendees; 5 capacity building events with 98 attendees; 7 citizen awareness raising events with 85 attendees. Done an interview with a journalist, published in July 2024 https://phaseout.it/urwan-soluzioni-cambiamenti-climatici/ and several articles have been published related to the participated events by PPs. Visits achieved: 1086 in the project Facebook page and 606 in the project website. The main result is the production of the O1.1 Catalogue for final users for harmonising knowledge on NBS. This represents a project pillar that will be used in the implementation of all project WPs. Moreover, the implemented activities allowed to count 13 organisations actively involved in the first project activities (9 PPs+4 APs) contributing to the project Result 3: 22PSI: PSI1 - Organisations with increased institutional capacity due to their participation in cooperation activities across borders. WP1 All deliverables planned in the first year have been produced. The stakeholders engagement strategy has been launched guarantying an effective involvement of local organisations crucial for the project implementation. At this stage, 503 organisations have been involved under the project activities and/or reached by project communication, and 3130 citizens have been reached by project communication and activities. Past D.1.2.2: “Partner level analyses” has been produced contributing to design the baseline situation and needs in the 6 pilot cities. After the co-design workshop (Past D.1.3.1: “Common co-design workshop to draft the catalogue”), during the second period PPs finalised the D 1.3.1 Infographics and Chart Makers that represents the basis for the O1.1. Has been designed the Past D.1.4.1 “Curriculum and training material”, basis for the Interactive training course organised in Ptuj in December 2024 (Past D.1.4.2). Key PPs have actively contributed to both Thematic Community and Institutional Dialogue projects and have correctly monitored the carbon footprint. WP2 The primary focus during the reporting period was finalising the set of NBS for investments and related designs. Iridra conducted multiple B2B meetings with key stakeholders, including PP4, PP7, LP1, and relevant APs. These meetings aimed to outline necessary data, constraints, and desiderata for the conceptualisation of the pilots while assessing the feasibility of operations. PPs identified plant nurseries, and has been initiated the assessments for species selection. Moreover, physical surveys of pilot sites (Rome, Cuba, Larnaka) were organised by PPs. Overall, significant progress has been made in defining and designing the pilot interventions, with ongoing technical finalisation before implementation. WP3 Key achievements of WP3 are the finalisation of the guidelines for co-design methodology and the IDSS. As for the co-design, has been produced the START PARK TOOL KIT and the ROADMAP, translating in national languages the manual, the guide and the gamification tools. As for the IDSS, the external experts (Kassandra project) are supporting the implementation in the 3 pilot cities (Ferla, Ptuj, and Sarajevo). The IDSS implementation process have been started, collecting general freely available data, such as climate data, and drawing up a project programme. A low-resolution version of the Digital Twin was also created to assist with data visualisation at this early stage. The selection of the pilot area (2 km²) in the 3 cities has been finalised. WP4 Has been produced the URWAN Amplification Strategy for mainstreaming. It details the methodology, including a definition of the concepts, the objectives, the synergies with the other project activities, the different actions undertaken through the Amplification Strategy (e.g. Living Labs, interviews with local governments, training kits), as well as the actors involved. It also contains a series of annexes such as the Living Lab methodology or the script of the interviews. The planned interviews have been carried on (A4.2) and the findings, along with the ones of experienced cities (A1.2), were then used to prepare the contents of the 1st Living Lab (LL), focused on establishing a diagnosis, that took place in Ptuj, Slovenia, in December. Management During all the period a continuous project management has been carried on in order to support PPs to respect deadlines and find solutions to any operative problem incurred. The overall situation of the project implementation is aligned with the time plan set in the AF. LP1 has continued to update Basecamp with the project key production (Deliverables, outputs, and past deliverables), as well as with key project documents and information useful for PPs. 2 SC meetings have been organised (online), 6 in total from the project start. The 7th SC meeting has been postponed at the beginning of the next period (4th of July in Cuba) for organisational reasons. Have been organised 3 WP leader meetings (2 online and 1 in Cuba on 30th of June), 10 in total from the project start. LP1 with the support of Medcities, has managed the withdrawal from the partnership of the Municipality of Larnaka at the date of 30th of June, 2025. Communication We have continued to work on the project communication and dissemination, organising and participating to important events (e.g. TED Catania). The partnership is working to design a new communication strategy to be put in force in the last year of the project in order to maximize the dissemination of the key project production. The main results achieved in this period, are the finalisation of the materials to launch the project co-design methodology, and the start-up of the IDSS used by 3 project pilot cities. During this period, few delays in the production of the planned deliverables was registered without affecting the overall project implementation. The D.1.4.1 “Training kit for a selection of NBS” has been designed and is actually under final review. It will be requested to can include specific graphic animation in order to create a more attractive training materials to be used during the project activities, as well as within the MED Academy. Final version will be produced during the period 4. The D.2.1.1 “3 dedicated webpages” has been postponed to the next period in coherence to the new time plan of the pilot investments. The target will be reduced to 2 in consideration of the withdrawal of the Municipality of Larnaka. The launch of the 2 webpages published by Rome and Cuba will be done by the end of 2025. Considering the ongoing finalisation of the process for pilot investments approval by the involved authorities (city of Rome and municipality of Cuba), the former D. 2.2.1 “blueprint packages” has postponed to the period 4. All the ongoing activities are proceeding with few delays. Have been planned all the dates to implement the co-design processes in all the 5 cities and the related materials are ready and translated into national languages as well as in English. We are finalising the data collection necessary to implement the IDSS in all the 3 pilot cities involved (Sarajevo, Ferla, and Ptuj). Has been organised the second planned project Living Lab held in Cuba, Portugal, on 1-2 July, 2025. Management Has been carried on a continuous project management in order to support PPs to respect deadlines and find solutions to any operative problem incurred. The main challenge has been the withdrawal of PP7 from the URWAN project at the date of 30/06/2025. This has caused the necessity to re-organise the project activities and manage the request of the submission of the project modification request (n.3) including the PP7 withdrawal, a budget reallocation, activities improvement, and new activities inclusion. A new project time plan has been designed accordingly. During the period, an extraordinary effort was put in place by all WP leaders and LP1. Continued to update Basecamp with the project key production, as well as with key project documents and information useful for PPs. In total, 4 project and SC meetings have been organised (2 in PR3 and 2 in PR4) and 7 WP leaders meetings (1 in PR3 and 6 in PR4). Communication In the first year, we participated in 21 external events as speakers presenting the URWAN project. We have organised 3 communication events with 236 attendees; 1 capitalisation event with 440 attendees; 12 capacity building events with 531 attendees; 6 citizen awareness raising events with 214 attendees. 6 of these events were specifically focused on youth with 389 attendees. In total, during period 3 and 4 we achieved 1.421 attendees to the events organised by URWAN projects. 78 articles and posts were published in order to disseminate URWAN and promote tailored activities locally implemented by PPs. Visits achieved: 7517 in the project Facebook page and 104 in the project YouTube channel. Main results: A first main result is the test of the Collaborative and design-based methodology for designing multifunctional intervention (D.3.1.1) that has produced important input to make the methodology more effective. A second key outcome was the creation of the initial version of the 'NBS Enabler Pack', particularly the training kits compiled by PP5 with the support of PP2. A third main result is the designing and tendering of the pilot investment aimed to demonstrate the multifunctional approach of NBS. WP1 All the PPs linked to a pilot city continued to organise the stakeholder meetings as planned (A1.1). The URWAN NBS Catalogue and posters have been translated in Italian, Slovenian and Portuguese. Bosnian will be finalised in period 5. Each national language version has undergone a graphic redesign. This has resulted in versions of the catalogue and infographics that maximise readability, usability and appeal for dissemination. Designed the contents of the D1.4.1 Training kit for a selection of NBS. Continued to actively support the C4LA and Institutional Dialogue projects. PP6 prepared the CFM project report for the 4 periods. PP6 with contribution of LP1, PP2 and PP3 updated the graphic version of the O1.1 Catalogue for final users for harmonising knowledge on NBS under request of the JS communication team. WP2 In both the 2 pilots have been finalised the: 1. Produced the “Impact assessment of climate change on investments”; 2. Executive design of the pilot investments; 3. Design of the tender documents; 4. Obtaining the necessary permits for the construction works; 5. Contract with the construction company has been signed; 6. Agreement with the pilot area owner has been finalised; 7. Construction works have started. In both pilots the construction works are ongoing and will be finalised at the beginning of the next period in order to include the approved modifications. WP3 IDSS developed in Ferla, Ptuj and Sarajevo, collecting the required datasets and coordinating exchanges between the cities and the technical partners responsible for the modelling process. Developed the reports with the Current Resilience Index for the 3 cities and shared with cities with a summary of the critical parameters, that are the starting point for the development of the improvement scenarios that in 2026 will be developed. START PARK co-design process: Finalised the site identification and the Start Park road map activities initiated for all partner cities, organising 19 co-design workshops during the 2 periods. The production of Master Plans (D.3.3.1) is in progress and will be completed in Period 5 and has initiated the preparatory work for the co-design evaluation and assessment (D.3.4.1). Specific activities for school aged children, adaptation of the start park methodology were done to be applied in Ferla, Rome and Cuba. WP4 Three training kits, as part for the NbS Enabler Pack, have been developed and the experts were trained to adapt and translate them and to deliver the training sessions in the pilot cities. The Enabler Pack design is continuing has been drafted the URWAN checklist and a step-by-step guide with recommendations to tackle the full cycle of urban NbS. Organized the 2nd Living Lab, in Cuba (PT) on 1-2/07/2025, and started the preparations of the 3rd LL in Malta, scheduled in Feb 2026.

The countries where the project tests and demonstrates low-cost nature-based solutions (NBS) are Italy, Tunisia, Jordan, and Lebanon. (EN) | Main challenges/objectives of interest:
The use of Non-Conventional Water resources for non-potable domestic uses is highly recommended by scientists and international agencies to face the growing demand and water scarcity. In urban areas, natural solutions developed vertically can be proposed, recovering walls not in use, thus contributing to the achievement of other objectives such as building aesthetics, mitigation of the heat island effect, increasing biodiversity, etc. Nonetheless, maintaining vertical gardens' benefits requires considerable water for irrigation. The solutions tested in NAWAMED couple the advantages of GW separation and reuse, with the advantages of vertical gardens.
Main outcomes of interest/Capitalisation:
WP1- Access to the technical information (monitoring data) about the pilots and to the local administrators in charge of maintaining the NBSs.
WP2- URWAN will make use of the technical outcomes of testing the innovative vertical green walls to treat greywater and of collecting rainwater to reuse for public purposes.
WP3- Use of some the communication tool developed (i.e., the short film for promoting water reuse at urban level, the webpage www.pareteverdeferla.it)
WP4- Lesson learns from the from the experiences of the local and Mediterranean ‘Water tables’ implemented. The Mediterranean Policy Document to foster the inclusion of water demand management in national policy frameworks.
Coordination mechanism: 3 PPs and 3 Aps are involved in NAWAMED ensuring coordination and exchange of information / lessons learnt. Further, the URWAN partners at the beginning of the project will visit the NAWAMED pilot in FERLA (IT) (implemented by the PP SVIMED and owned by the AP Municipality of Ferla), while the other ones will be shared by the partners in charge involved as APs (AUB, CERTE and Jerash Municipality).

LOCAL4GREEN supported local authorities for defining and implementing innovative local fiscal policies, intended to promote renewable energy sources (RES) both in the public and private sector and households, mainly in the framework of the Sustainable Energy Action Plans adopted by the signatory local authorities to the Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy. The project supported the testing of innovative local green fiscal policies, and the monitoring of their results in spreading renewable energy sources. 78 pilot municipalities from the 9 countries partners have participated in the project Testing phase, reaching to design for them 154 green fiscal policies to promote the use of renewable energy sources in their territories.
LOCAL4GREEN+ is a mainstreaming initiative focusing on integrating such green local fiscal policies into the policies of new local authorities. The project will carry out a training process and will adapt the policy models to the specific features of the receiver municipalities in collaboration with working groups formed by decision makers, policy makers and other stakeholders of such municipalities. Furthermore, the project will provide technical support and will deploy a strategic liaising process with the receiver policy makers to ensure the implementation of the green fiscal policies to promote RES.

The project will create a community of cities to foster peer to peer learning and capacity building among frontrunner cities who are experienced in delivering large scale nature-based solutions, and fast follower cities who have the desire to implement large scale nature-based solutions but lack the expertise. As knowledge and expertise increases, new members (multiplier cities) will be included. At the same time, project partners will develop policy and practices necessary to scale up urban resilience, innovation and governance using nature-based solutions. Our approach will be open and innovative, fostering the development of co-operation between local governments, SME’s, academic research and community partners.
