Espais Verds

The Cession of Spaces competition is a unique opportunity to bring our city’s public zones to life with urban allotments, gardens or biodiversity spaces. The plots have been ceded for four-year periods since 2022, the year the programme was launched.

The green spaces managed by the organisation contribute to the greening and social cohesion of the neighbourhood by getting residents and local social stakeholders involved. They are true oases where nature and community converge to improve city life.
