New podcast episode with 'What's That Green?'

We are thrilled to release the fourth episode of our podcast series with What's That Green?, the creative, community-driven platform focused on nature-based solutions in cities.

In this episode, you can explore Munich and its inner courtyards through the lens of Alice Reil and Linda Schrapp, local JUSTNature coordinators, who share an inside look at how co-creation and inclusivity guided the transformation of two pilot sites, their urban nature, and their communities. Tune in to hear what's possible when administrations slow down, listen, and let people lead.

During the episode, Alice and Linda explain how co-creative processes have helped reinvent both pilot sites, semi-private courtyards in Munich, in an attempt to meet the diverse needs of groups usually on the periphery of planning, including children, migrants, and low-income families. The process was a collaborative effort between the City of Munich and a handful of local actors: Spiellandschaft Stadt e.V. provided their expertise to engage young people in the planning processes, especially in the school. Green City e.V. supported the project with their experience in urban greening and climate protection measures. WOW! Urbane Utopien built the public furniture used on both sites, while FreiraumViertel provided the customised seating areas and modular, movable plant containers.

The episode is accompanied by an inspiring blogpost by WTG?.
