HumanNature

Für alle da – Stadtgrün für soziale Gerechtigkeit und gesellschaftliche Teilhabe

The “nature” along the streets and in neighbouring parks is often the only contact with the natural world that many city dwellers still have today, and frequently the only space where children can move freely and have direct experiences with nature. Urban nature serves extremely important functions for a healthy and fulfilling life and can, particularly in socially disadvantaged districts, make a significant contribution to improving people’s overall living conditions.

Green open spaces are places of encounter and social cohesion. They provide opportunities for recreation and physical activity and make an important contribution to health and well-being. These spaces allow people to come together and interact, while children can play freely and let their creativity run wild. This is especially important for those who do not have a private garden or plot of land.

In socially disadvantaged districts in particular, it is therefore crucial to create more green spaces or improve the quality of existing ones. This is most effective when done in collaboration with local residents, fostering a sense of community and neighbourliness. Residents can provide the right impulses for the design and development of green spaces in their own district.
