In each issue of the newsletter, we highlight a keyword that encapsulates an essential part of our work. Our third keyword is:

GREEN NEIGHBOURHOOD FACILITATOR (GNF)

A key figure in the ecological transition of urban areas, the Green Neighbourhood Facilitator plays a central role in coordinating regeneration processes at the neighbourhood level. Introduced as part of a co-creation methodology, the GNF brings together communities, stakeholders, resources, and ideas to design and implement sustainable regeneration plans. In pilot cities, this role is taken on by local authorities to ensure that ecological transformation is inclusive, community-driven, and tailored to local needs and priorities.
