  • Short description
    • The main objective of the “Green of proximity BCN” project is to design and implement a “Monitoring and evaluation plan for the operation and impact of green roofs and façades in the city of Barcelona”, which is inclusive and participatory. economically viable and sustainable over time. To this purpose, a consortium has been set up that integrates members of the scientific community, the business world and social integration, who together with the owners and users of these nature-based solutions will co-design and co-implement the retrospective monitoring of 4 ongoing projects in order to evaluate their operation and the real impact of these constructive solutions on previously selected key indicators. Monitoring and evaluation of green roofs and facades will be essential in the future, not only for measuring the success of individual projects but also for the use of this information to evaluate their efficiency and cost-effectiveness for replication and subsequent scaling, as well as for urban planning and management and strategic decision-making at the city level
