An exchange of experiences, learning about the opportunities offered by the LIFE Program, and awarding the best practices related to the implementation of EU programs – that’s a brief summary of the Life Information Day marking 15 years of LIFE with the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management (NFOŚiGW).

Some changes are already visible, but more are still ahead of us. A green square is planned to be created at Monte Cassino Street, with the project being developed with the involvement of residents. The creation of a green square at Monte Cassino Street is one of several tasks to be carried out by the Climate-Energy-Water Management unit as part of the LIFE PACT project. Kraków, in cooperation with Madrid and Leuven, secured funding from the European Commission for “nature-inspired initiatives.” Five locations have been selected in Kraków that, thanks to investments [...]

Five locations for which Kraków received EU funding will be transformed to adapt the capital of Małopolska to climate change. One of these places is the currently concrete-covered area at the intersection of Ehrenberga and Chełmońskiego streets in Azory. It will soon become a green enclave, the design of which was largely decided by the residents themselves. What will this square look like? The coordinator of the Life Pact project, funded by the European Commission, is the municipal unit [...]

Ahead of us are consultations with the residents of Podgórze Duchackie, aimed at developing a shared concept for the use of the area.

Trees, green areas, a place to relax – or maybe a rain garden? We’re waiting for you and your ideas! The workshop will take place tomorrow, November 29, at 5:30 PM at Primary School No. 55 […]

Another round of KEGW consultations with residents is behind us. This time, it concerned the square at Monte Cassino. The outcome of the workshops was the development of a land use concept created with the involvement of the widest possible group of stakeholders interested in the place and representing various communities. One of the concepts recommended by the architects was well received by residents, councilors, and officials.

Fifty people, three hours of frank discussion and one issue concerning the square on Ehreneberg Street – that was yesterday's meeting with residents. Thanks to the formula of meetings with residents as part of the LIFE PACT project, it is possible to develop a coherent concept for the development of the area, which takes into account its possibilities, but also its limitations. Yesterday, we learned about the identity of the square on Ehreneberga Street – small-scale trade in fruit and vegetables straight from the producer. The residents almost unanimously wanted the site to […]
