The URBREATH Project is an ambitious initiative aimed at reshaping urban revitalization by integrating community participation and Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) into the heart of decision-making processes. With a bold vision for transforming cities, URBREATH seeks to drive resilience, climate neutrality, and enhanced livability through innovative urban regeneration strategies that place local communities at the forefront.
URBREATH is focused on developing, demonstrating, validating, and replicating a comprehensive methodology for urban revitalization. This methodology is centered around the transformation of neglected areas such as brownfields, deprived zones, and other urban spaces in need of regeneration. The key to success lies in community and stakeholder participation, which will help guide greening and renaturing efforts to improve urban environments and promote social inclusion, equity, and interaction.
The project leverages cutting-edge technologies, including local digital twins, artificial intelligence, and social innovation, to achieve its vision of climate-neutral urban spaces. These tools will help cities move toward more sustainable practices by regenerating these underutilized spaces through both physical transformations and environmental interventions.
The ultimate goal of URBREATH is to improve urban livability and contribute to the broader climate neutrality agenda. By revitalizing forgotten and underserved areas, the project will create new, green, and dynamic spaces that enhance social cohesion and provide a higher quality of life for city dwellers. Through these efforts, URBREATH aims to transform urban environments into more resilient, equitable, and vibrant places, fostering stronger communities and a healthier planet for future generations.
At Latitudo 40, we are proud to contribute our expertise in Earth Observation and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to support the URBREATH framework. Our technology enables the collaboration between city planners and communities, ensuring that NBS are designed and implemented in a way that meets both environmental goals and the needs of urban residents.
