On the 6th and 7th of June 2024, we had the pleasure of participating in the event organized in Castelfranco Veneto by VARCITIES partners CrowdHelix and the Municipality of Castelfranco Veneto, with the support of E2ARC, Inlecom and University of Padova. The event, “Unlocking the Power of Nature-Based Innovation” was held in the beautiful Villa Bolasco, a 500-year-old historical garden and villa, now maintained by the University of Padova for public and scientific use.

Together with the different partners of VARCITIES and stakeholders from the area, we engaged in conversations about the transformative power of nature-based solutions, the importance of transdisciplinary approaches, and the significance of enhancing health and wellbeing in urban planning.

The event concluded with a call for co-creation at multiple levels – urban, environmental, social, and administrative. This marks a significant step forward in leveraging our project results related to nature-based innovation to create healthier, more resilient urban environments beyond our seven pilots!
