The main topic of the meeting was discussing how to develop the public space around Witosa, Gołaśka, and Marcowa streets. Potential solutions for land development were presented, using NBS (Nature-Based Solutions). The activities are carried out as part of the "Life Pact – The Human Factor: Adapting the City for Tomorrow’s Needs" project. The implementation includes building green/green-blue infrastructure areas in selected parts of the Kraków Municipality. The meeting was initiated by a presentation from a representative [...]

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). Dr. Marek Bogacki, Deputy Director of KEGW for Energy and New Technologies, spoke about the benefits the project brings to Kraków’s residents and the resulting financial advantages. A representative of the City of Kraków received a distinction for the project implemented in Kraków by #KEGW, worth nearly 800,000 euros […]

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 [...]

The area at Ehrenberga Street has been selected as one of several places that will soon change thanks to EU funds within the Life Pact project. The preparations are coordinated by the municipal unit Climate-Energy-Water Management, responsible among other things for adapting Kraków PL to climate change. Today at 5:30 PM, the second meeting will take place with residents, designers, entrepreneurs, district councilors, and officials. All this is to jointly make decisions about the changes happening in the neighborhood. […]

Ahead of us are consultations with the residents of Podgórze Duchackie, aimed at developing a shared concept for the use of the area. All as part of the EU Life Pact programme – adapting the city to the needs of tomorrow. What will change here? What do residents of the nearby neighborhoods care about? What’s missing in this space? 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. It envisages arranging the space at Monte Cassino as a recreational and relaxation zone with benches. According to the majority of those gathered at the workshops, a significant […]

We wtorek, 24 października o godz. 18.00 w Szkole Podstawowej nr 30 przy ul. Konfederackiej 12 odbędzie się drugie spotkanie z cyklu „Life Pact – adaptacja miasta do potrzeb jutra”. Podczas konsultacji organizowanych przez jednostkę Klimat–Energia–Gospodarka Wodna mieszkańcy m.in. wspólnie z projektantami krajobrazu i urzędnikami wezmą udział w projektowaniu zielonego zacisza przy ul. Monte Cassino.

50 osób, 3 godziny szczerej dyskusji i 1 sprawa skweru przy ul. Ehreneberga – tak było podczas wczorajszego spotkania z mieszkańcami. Dzięki formule spotkań z mieszkańcami w ramach projektu LIFE PACT udaje się wypracować spójną koncepcję zagospodarowania terenu, która uwzględnia jego możliwości, ale również ograniczenia. Wczoraj poznaliśmy tożsamość skweru przy Ehrenberga – drobny handel warzywami i owocami prosto od producenta. Mieszkańcy niemal jednogłośnie chcieli, by na miejscu […]

Jak zmienić zaniedbany osiedlowy skwer, by poza wzrostem retencji zyskał przychylność i zadowolenie  mieszkańców sąsiadującej okolicy? Trzeba zorganizować warsztaty podczas których sami mieszkańcy, urzędnicy, projektanci, radni dzielnicowi i zainteresowani – zaplanują przestrzeń na nowo. Inicjatorem ciekawych warsztatów, które ruszą w Krakowie już 19 października jest jednostka Klimat-Energia-Gospodarka Wodna, koordynator projektu Life Pact finansowanego ze środków Komisji Europejskiej. Podczas pierwszego otwartego spotkania w XIV […]
