SUSTAINABLE CITY continues the popular Living Streets project and invites its Member Municipalities to send a Request for Participation in order to submit a new funding proposal to the GREEN FUND.
The Living Streets actions present a city with less air and noise pollution, due to the temporary suspension of vehicular traffic on the selected streets, while enhancing social cohesion and cooperation between the municipality and its citizens. On Wednesday 29 January 2025, the online co creation workshop of the European project CLIMRES, organised by SUSTAINABLE CITY, was successfully completed.
CLIMRES aims to strengthen the resilience of buildings to extreme weather events by developing innovative methodologies for vulnerability assessment and impact assessment of building ecosystems. HyPro4ST E-Learning Platform: a New Era in Education
