Project for the renaturalization, improvement of biodiversity and consolidation of the green infrastructure of Santiago de Compostela (Entre Sar e Sarela).
PRTR Call for Proposals Project
The project ‘Entre Sar e Sarela’ aims to promote urban renaturalization and green infrastructure in Santiago de Compostela to promote the ecological connectivity of the Outer Green Belt with the urban fabric. The objective of the project is to promote the regeneration and requalification of degraded areas and the renaturation of urban areas, to achieve a better habitability of the city, more ecological natural areas and reinforced ecosystem services, which will increase the city’s adaptability to the effects of climate change. To this end, we are committed to the design of a resilient landscape, which incorporates Nature-based Solutions (NBS), as well as governance and social participation around the project, under an inclusive and gender perspective.

Santiago de Compostela City CouncilThe project is a continuation of a sustainable urban model, linking the compact city with the natural environment, strengthening the concept of green infrastructure and increasing urban resilience to the effects of climate change. The consolidation of the city’s Outer Green Belt and the introduction of ecosystem dynamics will be pursued, renaturalizing the urban environment – connecting this belt with urban green areas, increasing biodiversity and urban quality, and increasing the protection of the urban environment. The proposed actions are located on the immediate edge of the city – consolidating the green belt – as well as in the compact city – introducing nature into the urban fabric -, always linked to the wetlands of the Sar, Sarela and Corgo rivers – areas highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change -, guaranteeing the correct coexistence between metabolic functions and urban uses.
