- URWAN-Urban Regenerative Water Avant-garde(N) (Interreg EuroMED 2021-27).
- 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
- The project URWAN will test co-designed nature-based solutions (NBS) to address the challenges of the water management in the EuroMED green urban spaces. The project will contribute to adapt the urban green spaces to the climate change, reducing the use of water though NBS.

The lessons of the GenerACTOR project are completely relevant to design the co-design and co-implementation approach of the RealUrbanGreen model. Such lessons are particularly interesting for the Rome pilot, that will take place in a community urban garden, but they can be easily adapted to the co-design and co-implementation of the urban green spaces in general. The common partner Risorse per Roma will ensure this synergy that will make easier the preparation of the RealUrbanGreen WP2 and WP3 roadmaps to be tested and later merged in the holistic model (WP4).

- To reduce car orientation of cities and trigger a major shift towards sustainable transport, the awareness of decision-makers and citizens has to be improved. The project is based on the concept of “Show and Tell”. The project enables cities to apply innovative methods based on tactical urbanism/placemaking/tactical transit practices to SHOW citizens (and decision-makers) through pop-up interventions what it would be like to have streets, parks, public spaces not dominated by cars. Placemaking is a holistic approach to the planning, design, “making” and management of public places. It is aimed at making public places that are attractive for people.

This contribution is key for the RealUrbanGreen project since the partners PP4 UV and PP8 Commonspace will provide the scientific and technical expertise and the LP1 BBI will provide the citizens centred approach. As well, the GREENGAGE co-creation approach will be capitalised in the WP2.
