Nature-based Regeneration through Water: Integrating the water cycle in urban renaturalization

Do you face challenges with disconnected communities, poor housing conditions or limited access to green spaces?

Lorca, Spain, is tackling these issues head-on with the NatUR-W project, bringing hope to the Barrios Altos neighbourhood. By integrating nature-based solutions (NbS), the project is addressing social and climate challenges and transforming the area into an inclusive, resilient, and vibrant community. 

From innovative green walls that improve energy efficiency to the creation of an urban forest and the transformation of an old prison into a thriving community centre, NatUR-W is reshaping Barrios Altos.

The active involvement of local residents ensures that these solutions reflect their needs, fostering a sense of belonging and empowerment.
