From Vacant to Vibrant: Citizens Reclaiming Unused

From Vacant to Vibrant: Citizens Reclaiming Unused Urban Spaces With Nature

The 1st of a five-part international online event series as part of the #DivAirCityProject has just been launched!

🗓️ Wednesday, 27th November, 2 PM GMT

Running from November 2024 to May 2025, each event will be led by a different city, with each focusing on a unique topic, relevant to the project and also the challenges in their city.

👏 Delighted that in this project our partners from @utcbro - Bucharest District 2 and the City of Klaipeda are also involved.

The first event will be led by the city of Aarhus in Denmark, setting the stage for inspiring discussions on how citizens can reclaim unused urban spaces and co-create nature-based solutions as powerful tools for mobilizing communities.

We hope this series will inspire a collective movement towards greener, more inclusive urban spaces, where communities play a central role in shaping their future.

We encourage our community to register at the link in comments section.
