What’s That Green? Governance Lab is excited to launch an open call for projects that demonstrate good practice in the long-term co-care and co-maintenance of urban green spaces together with civil society.
We are not looking for governance models where green spaces are solely managed by public or private actors, nor where citizens are acting entirely on their own. Our focus is on blended stewardship models - where cities, private organizations, and civil society care for green spaces together.
We welcome projects that include, but are not limited to:
– Maintenance and care: joint actions that keep the green space healthy and functional.
– Inclusion and activation: collaborative initiatives that bring people together and encourage shared use, appreciation, and care of the space.
– Monitoring and assessment: cooperative efforts to observe and evaluate ecological, social, or governance aspects.
