At #Inetum, we’re thrilled to see the progress of the European Project ReGreeneration ReGreeneration Europe, which we are proud to coordinate. Last week, we had the chance to visit the pilot project in Barcelona, one of nine European cities implementing initiatives to revitalize underprivileged neighborhoods. Thank you, Barcelona City Council, for your warm hospitality, and thanks to the European Commission for giving us the opportunity to connect with so many amazing people working together to improve quality of life for everyone. #ReGreenerationEU #SustainableCities #Collaboration Jesus Otero Maria Perez Ortega Alberto Palomero Prada Régis Hourdouillie Emilie Daongam Catherine Arod-Gall Chiara Martinuzzi Stephanie Patterson Benedetta Camerini Elena Andreoni Roberto De Lotto

🔑 One of the key moments at our consortium meeting was a workshop dedicated to revisiting the core pillars that unite all #ReGreenerationEU pilot projects. Despite the diverse challenges and contexts, our work is guided by three shared principles: 1️⃣ COMPLETE NEIGHBOURHOODS During the "Why Embed Proximity & the Six Social Functions" table, Chaire ETI and C40 Cities guided a conversation on how proximity planning improves equity, strengthens connectivity, and promotes vibrant, thriving neighbourhoods. 2️⃣ COMMUNAL AREAS FOR AND BY THE PEOPLE In the Citizen Engagement table, UrbanizeHub shared lessons from their participatory processes in Bucharest, showing how involving communities builds trust, fosters ownership, and ensures local needs are at the heart of solutions. 3️⃣ NATURE-BASED URBAN GREEN SPACES The "Sustainable Cities Through the Right Selection of Vegetation" table, led by Viaverda, highlighted how strategically planned green spaces enhance climate resilience and biodiversity, transforming urban areas into healthier and more sustainable environments. 💡 These workshops reinforced how these pillars align and drive our efforts, offering a shared vision that bridges all our pilot projects. How do these principles resonate with your vision for sustainable cities?

Our time in Barcelona for the ReGreeneration consortium meeting has come to an end, leaving us inspired, energized, and ready to take the next steps in our mission to create greener, more inclusive neighbourhoods across Europe. Over three dynamic days, we: 🤝 Strengthened our partnerships through peer learning, collaborative co-creation workshops, and one-on-one discussions. 👥 Engaged in rich thematic discussions on citizen engagement, proximity in city planning, and the critical role of regenerative green spaces. 🌱 Explored innovative strategies for urban greening and biodiversity through our visit to the Trinitat Nova pilot project. 💻 Advanced digital tools like our Digital Twin, bringing cutting-edge innovation to urban regeneration. A huge thank you to all the incredible partners who contributed their expertise and ideas, and to our host, Barcelona City Council. The work doesn’t stop here. We look forward to applying these lessons in our pilot projects and continuing to make a tangible impact in our cities 🌍 What’s your vision for greener, thriving neighbourhoods? #ReGreenerationEU #SustainableCities #Collaboration Régis Hourdouillie Laura Balán Neda Kostandinovic Stephanie Patterson Benedetta Camerini Maria Perez Ortega Roxana Maria Triboi Soumya Kanti Datta Roberto De Lotto Chiara Martinuzzi Carlos Moreno Joanne Treacy Cristiana Croitoru Elisabetta Venco annarita carotenuto Elena Andreoni Enrica De Paulis Marta Popiołek Sandy Adriaenssens Eva Reybroeck Luca Alessio Paolo Micheli and many, many more

✨ What a magical day 2 in Barcelona! The Barcelona City Council - our host and a true European pioneer in urban innovation - filled us with inspiration on how to design neighbourhoods for people and nature. 🌱 Our day began with a site tour of the #ReGreenerationEU pilot in the Trinitat Nova neighbourhood, immersing ourselves in the ongoing green regeneration efforts. 💡 Marc Montlleó introduced us to the Barcelona Nature Plan 2030, revealing an ambitious blueprint for reimagining urban ecosystems. His insights showed how strategic green infrastructure can radically transform city landscapes and enhance biodiversity even in the most built-up urban areas. 🚶♀️ Andrea Ballbé and Neda Kostandinovic walked us through the city’s new Public Space Plan (PEPI) and the evolution of the #Superblock model to reclaim public spaces for people, prioritizing pedestrians, green areas and community interaction. Big thanks to our incredible local hosts for sharing their expertise and passion! Barcelona’s energy, vision, and dedication to sustainable, livable cities were truly contagious, leaving us inspired and motivated to carry forward these lessons in our work... 🙌 More news from our consortium meeting to come! #Greenneighbourhoods #Barcelona #ReGreenerationEU #Sustainablecities
