Adding greenery to residential areas

ReGreeneration aims to to explore how greening and renaturing solutions can be operationalised all over Europe by their implementation in 4 European leading cities: Paris, Bucharest, Barcelona and Alverca and their replication in Gent, Ljubljana, Rome, Lappeenranta and Segrate.

There will be a special focus on social housing districts, deprived, neglected or abandoned areas, derelict industrial sites, brownfields or other dysfunctional urban sites.

The role of Lappeenranta in the project is to specially monitor the solutions implemented by Bucharest during the project and replicate them in its own plans, which aim to revitalize the center of Sammonlahti and develop green areas.

The project began in January 2024 and lasts until 2027. It has received funding from the European Union's Horizon Europe research and innovation programme.
