On December
22, the 3rd VEG-GAP LIFE workshop was held in Madrid. The meeting, which was
held online due to the COVID situation, was attended by representatives from
several municipal departments (Urban Planning, Parks and Gardens, Energy and
Climate Change), the UPM University (Universidad Politecnica de Madrid) and an
environmental dissemination consultant (Altekio).
The purpose
of this action was to update information and assess the progress of the project
to date, as well as plan the simulation that UPM will carry out on the effects
on air quality and meteorology of the city's main green infrastructure projects
for the coming years, including the Bosque Metropolitano, the new urban
development of Madrid Nuevo Norte, and the green corridor Arco Verde.
Other topics
discussed were the dissemination actions of the project that will be developed
in the coming months in order to disseminate the results of the project and
engage the community that has been created around this topic.
In addition,
municipal representatives talked about how to implement VEG-GAP methodologies
and tools in future urban plans.
