🌱 Cool Neighbourhoods Pilot Spotlight: Goes, Netherlands – Two Unique Initiatives! 🌿 In Goes, two distinct pilot projects are driving climate resilience in innovative ways as part of the Cool Neighbourhoods initiative! Alongside the Inner City pilot, which explores green façades and surfaces for cooling, the Green Hub pilot focuses on transforming the area around the town hall with vertical and horizontal green infrastructure and cutting-edge water management techniques. Together, these pilots aim to address heat stress, increase biodiversity, and create more liveable, sustainable spaces for residents, businesses, and visitors. While economic and structural challenges persist, Gemeente Goes is building community and political support to ensure the success of both initiatives, offering a model for urban resilience across Interreg North-West Europe (NWE). Dive into the full report for insights on Gemeente Goes approaches, showcasing practical strategies for urban climate adaptation.
