What is Neurourbanism? Exploring the Intersection of Neuroscience and Urban Design
Explore this article by our GreenInCities partner Neurolandscape on Neurourbanism—an innovative approach to shaping cities that support mental health. Learn how their expertise helps us evaluate the impact of urban design on well-being across pilot sites.
Alter! Magazine Interview (Part II): Inclusive Strategies for Urban Ecological Transformation
In this second part of an interview with Déborah Camañes, Communications Project Manager for the GreenInCities Consortium at Ideas for Change, featured in Alter Climate Change, the focus is on the importance of inclusivity in urban ecological transformation. As cities continue to grow, with two-thirds of the global population expected to live in urban areas by 2025, ensuring that urban development is sustainable, resilient, and inclusive is more critical than ever.
Building Inclusive, Resilient Cities: How Co-Creation is Transforming Urban Spaces in Prato
In this article, THINGS, a key partner in the GreenInCities project, explores the methodology that underpins the project’s urban transformation efforts.
How does the GreenInCities project ensure that both vulnerable communities and endangered urban species are considered in its bottom-up approach? What role does the Co-Creation methodology play in fostering collaboration across different stakeholders? How are the six core principles—inclusivity, transparency, ownership, belonging, human experience, and non-human experience—driving the project's success, particularly in the Prato pilot?
Alter! Magazine Interview (Part I): GreenInCities Approach to Urban Transformation
In this article, published by the Alter! Climate Change magazine coordinated by MAIA Resilience EU, Déborah Camañes, Communication Project Manager at GreenInCities answers the key questions about the project.
How is the project aligned with key EU initiatives like the European Green Deal and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)? How does GreenInCities incorporate the needs of human and non-human species in urban environments? How important are new technologies for the project?
One Health approach for re-greening cities
The concept of "One Health," initiated by the World Health Organization, is reshaping how we view urban spaces by linking human, animal, and environmental health. This interconnected approach emphasizes that a city’s livability is bound to the health of its ecosystems. In line with GreenInCities' mission, this perspective supports using Nature-based Solutions (NbS) to address urban challenges, such as mitigating extreme weather and promoting inclusive, green urban spaces.
