Between 2020 and 2025, we realised the INTERLACE project financed by the Horizon 2020 programme. The project aimed to support cities from Europe and Latin America in effectively restoring and rehabilitating urban ecosystems to make cities more livable, resilient, and inclusive. The project created many mechanisms for the exchange of experiences and active cooperation at the local, regional, and global levels.
The project consortium, coordinated by the Ecologic Institute from Berlin, included several scientific institutions, companies, and non-governmental organisations, including the Sendzimir Foundation. The Krakow Metropolis was among the six partner agglomerations that played a key role in the project.
The project is financed under the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 Programme (contract No. 869324) and was implemented from September 2020 to February 2025.
More information and project results can be found on its website, www.interlace-project.eu.
The project was divided into the following work packages:
WP1. Foundations for Inclusive Collaboration
WP2. Governing restorative NBS in cities
WP3. Tools for the assessment of restorative NBS
WP4. City-to-city exchange through multilevel city network accelerators
WP5. INTERLACE Hub for Innovation and Outreach
