More open spaces for Munich: rethinking courtyards

We are excited to release the new JUSTNature video titled "More Open Spaces for Munich: Rethinking Courtyards." This engaging video showcases innovative approaches to transforming urban courtyards into vibrant green spaces that enhance community interaction and promote biodiversity in Munich.

As part of the JUSTNature project, this video highlights Munich's commitment to integrating nature-based solutions into urban planning. It features successful examples of courtyard transformations, including the St. Anna schoolyard and Bellevue di Monaco, emphasizing the importance of community involvement in the design process. The video demonstrates how these revitalized spaces not only improve the aesthetic appeal of the city but also contribute to the well-being of residents by providing areas for social engagement and recreation.

In the video, you will find out about:

  • Community Participation: How local residents, children, people with migration background and local organizations were engaged in the planning and implementation of the temporary green interventions.
  • Innovative Designs: The design changes made to the courtyards that prioritize ecological benefits while meeting the diverse needs of the community.
  • Lessons Learned: Insights and experiences gained from the JUSTNature project that can inform future initiatives aimed at increasing green spaces in Munich.

By spreading the word, we can enhance awareness of the importance of nature-based solutions in creating sustainable urban environments!
