Aamulehti teki meistä kivan jutun. "Tampereen kaupunki perusti jo 30 vuotta sitten EU-rahoituksia hakemaan oman organisaation. Vuosien mittaan on opittu, miten menestytään." #Tampere #eurahoitus #kansainvälinenyhteistyö aamulehti.fi/tampere/art-200…

In growing cities, rivers and streams become vulnerable for the effects of climate change. It’s time to work with nature and be water wise. The 2024 EU Green Week starts today and launches #WaterWIseEU campaign. #CityBlues project supports this. #MadeWithInterreg 1/3
In #CityBlues project, we prevent flooding and bring multi-functional benefits using nature-based solutions (NBS). We develop a joint operational model for cities on how to involve stakeholders in improving urban streams and lakes and managing stormwater through NBS. 2/3
