Actions to improve the biodiversity and resilience of Granada (Granada Respira)

PRTR Call for Proposals Project

The project seeks to improve biodiversity and urban resilience, focusing its actions on two areas of the city: the southwestern area, where floods and floods are recurrent, and the northern area, with significant shortages of urban green facilities. The project has been designed to mitigate the effects of climate change with the selection of species adapted to future scenarios and the increase of green areas to reduce the heat island effect.

One of the interventions will serve to generate a floodable park that minimizes the effects of flooding on nearby buildings. The space will offer new habitats, especially for birds, and will recover a space for the use and enjoyment of citizens, especially nearby vulnerable groups. On the other hand, action is being taken on different plots that currently have peri-urban voids with a high potential for renaturation, creating new biodiverse and resilient green spaces.

  • Creation of a new floodable park for rainwater management next to the A-44.
  • Conditioning and renaturation of vacant plots in the western area.
  • Reforestation of degraded areas in the northern zone.
