SUSTAINABLE CITY participates in the European Project "Living Streets and Citizen Engagement in local energy and climate projects – LIVING STREETS", which is funded by the European Climate Initiative (EUKI) through the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Protection and Nuclear Security (BMU).
"LIVING STREETS" lies within the framework of Sustainable Development and Urban Regeneration concept. The project aims to the pilot transformation of busy city streets into sustainable social hubs where citizens can gather and exchange ideas, social activities can take place and alternative forms of eco-friendly transportation (e.g. by bicycle) can be promoted. This transformation will be achieved through the temporary partial or total ban on vehicles’ usage and can lead to a city that is more sustainable and a better place to live and work in, where citizens are more involved in the decision-making process.
The project also aims to reinforce the active engagement of citizens (bottom-up approach) in spatial and zone planning that will lead to the adoption of policies focused on the citizens (people – centric approach) instead of cars.
Living Streets is also aligned with the objectives of the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs), which have already been carried out for many Greek Municipalities and suggest similar actions. At the same time, social ties are expected to strengthen, and the environmental protection will be promoted.
The project will fund the implementation of ‘Living Streets’ in Greece, Croatia and Portugal. The programme is coordinated by the European City Network “Energy Cities”, being one of the founders and long-term supporters of the Covenant of Mayors. The regional coordinators are the SUSTAINABLE CITY for Greece, Terra Hub for Croatia and OesteSustentável for Portugal.
Within the framework of the Programme, SUSTAINABLE CITY will fund 2 Municipalities, which are Members of its Network, with € 20,000 and will support the rest to temporarily transform a municipal street into a place they always dreamed of.
