URBAN.FOR.MA.S.

Title:Creation of an Integrated Model System for Governance in Urban Forestry Management and for Adapting Cities to Climate Change (URBAN.FOR.MA.S.)
Client:Ministry of Education, Research and Religious Affairs, General Secretariat for Research and Technology
Capacity:Contractor – Project coordinator
Period:12/2012 – 10/2015
Objective:The project goal was to create a pilot system for the governance and decision-making in urban forestry by means of a holistic and consistent approach. The concept of holistic lies in the examination of all needs and problems of urban green spaces as a whole through co-assessing as many anthropogenic and other factors, each bearing different weighted value. The notion of consistent takes the form of dealing with problems and needs of similar nature in a uniform, to the extent feasible, way, regardless of the person called to make the decision and manage the situation.
