Imagine turning grey city spaces into living gardens that actually last and make people feel welcome. Instead of just planting trees and hoping for the best, this work uses art and community input to design green spaces that fit the local culture and nature. It's like creating a custom-made green lung for a city that the neighbors actually want to take care of.
Many urban greening projects fail because they don't involve the local community or ignore the specific ecological needs of the area, leading to high maintenance costs and low survival rates of plants.
A set of 5 demonstration sites, an Integrated Digital Platform for monitoring, and a practical Pattern Book for design guidelines.
If you are a firm dealing with green spaces that wither or are rejected by residents — this project developed a Pattern Book and design guidelines that ensure nature-based solutions are inclusive and resilient. This helps you create projects that maintain their value over time.
If you are a developer dealing with strict biodiversity regulations and low community engagement — this project developed 5 demonstration cases that show how to integrate nature into living environments. This increases property appeal and meets ecological standards.
If you are a consultant dealing with the difficulty of monitoring long-term nature project success — this project developed an Integrated Digital Platform and citizen science tools. This allows for better data collection and reporting on biodiversity gains.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or implementation costs are not provided.
The project aims to demonstrate 'next practices' for upscaling and acceleration of these solutions across 5 diverse demonstration cases in Europe.
Based on available project data, there is no mention of specific IP or licensing terms.
The project runs from 2025-09-01 to 2029-08-31, meaning final results and the Pattern Book will be available by late 2029.
The project focuses on transforming existing living environments through co-production in Eco-Social Living Labs to ensure they are adaptable to change.
The consortium is broad and multidisciplinary, consisting of 21 partners from 7 countries. It is heavily weighted toward non-industrial entities, with 12 'Other' organizations and 6 universities, while industry representation is low at 10% (2 companies and 3 SMEs). This suggests the project is driven by research and social experimentation rather than immediate commercial product development.
