Renaturalization of Pinto to make it a more natural, biodiverse, livable, healthy, equitable, inclusive and resilient city (Pinto en Verde).
PRTR Call for Proposals Project
The project aims to turn Pinto into a natural city that is resilient to climate change, healthy, socially and environmentally just and a benchmark in urban renaturalization and in the evaluation of its benefits. The urban center of the town suffers a strong disconnection with its rich natural environment due to large infrastructures. The provision of green areas is acceptable, but they do not form a connected, equitable green infrastructure network, nor are they designed to provide ecosystem services. Pinto en Verde is committed to the recovery of peri-urban spaces that connect the city center with the Culebro stream and provide a large green area in the north of the city, the naturalization of three pilot streets and the design and implementation of surgical interventions to create islands of biodiversity, improve connectivity and diversify the green, including actions in schools. All of this is accompanied by robust governance and participation plans, communication and an innovative approach to the measurement of social co-benefit indicators.

This is an action for the future, which will design and generate a true green infrastructure network that will increase the area of urban green space and its connectivity; improve ecosystem services, biodiversity, habitability and resilience to climate change; offer equitable access to green spaces; promote more sustainable lifestyles and explore green employment opportunities; favor and measure reconnection with nature and social support for naturalization actions; ensure its sustainability; promote and measure the reconnection with nature and social support for naturalization actions; ensure its sustainability; and ensure its sustainability; promote more sustainable lifestyles and explore green employment opportunities; promote and measure citizens’ reconnection with nature and social support for naturalization actions; ensure its sustainability through the governance and participation plan and dissemination and awareness; and generate innovation and scientific-technical knowledge, favoring its replicability.
