Annual workshop with local stakeholders

Exploring governance arrangements and public needs, these workshops will produce spatial visions for a resilient landscape adapted to each local territory with the aim to re-connect citizens with the landscape, create a landscape identity and engage public institutions at a regional and city level.

   

Test and improve local solutions

The objective is to map best practises at a European level regarding sustainable land use models reconnecting cities to their surrounding areas. For example, the cities within the consortium already implemented models:

  • Birmingham hub has worked on Natural Capital Metrics- co-designed with HS2- High Speed train and the application of “donut” economics to a region Combined Authority onDirect Economic Impact Model;
  • In the Gothenburg, the challenge is  to increase job creation and new farming business models, to increase food security, to improve eco-system services accounting and natural solutions for the climate risk management.

These models will be tested in different territory and training material will be produced.
