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

The NatUR-W consortium gathered on the 3rd and 4th of June 2025 in Lorca for a productive Steering Committee Meeting, hosted by the Lorca City Council and NBSCLIMATE at the Town Planning Office.

Day 1: focused on governance and participatory engagement, including a dynamic workshop with stakeholders on co-designing nature-based solutions for the old prison and urban park areas.

Day 2: featured detailed updates and collaborative planning across key work packages

The meeting concluded with a “Ruta por el clima”, a climate-themed walk across Lorca’s urban hotspots. Participants explored local climate challenges and NbS opportunities, from the green wall to historic sites like Plaza Bordadora and Huerto Palacio Guevara.

We would like to thank you to all partners for their contributions, and to the Lorca City Council for their warm hospitality and strong local leadership in advancing urban regeneration through water!
