Adopting the high goals of the Municipality of Heraklion for the bioclimatic and aesthetic upgrading of urban green spaces in the city, a series of events was organised on April 4 and 5, 2023, as part of the “Heraklion Urban Green: We are changing the climate in the city” project. The project is implemented as an important synergy of the Municipality with the Hellenic Mediterranean University (HMU); the actions of this collaboration contribute as a decisive adaptation measure against the threat of climate crisis. Sympraxis, responsible for the communication of the “Scientific Support of the Operation of the Directorate of Environment, Rural Development and Trade” project for urban greening, has undertaken all the promotion and awareness-raising actions for the enhancement of urban greening in Heraklion. During the two days of events, the citizens of Heraklion had the opportunity to be informed about the project, the modern urban greening actions and the benefits of implementing modern urban agriculture, to discuss issues that concern them, and to attend an interesting seminar for the potential of creating urban vegetable gardens on roofs, balconies and yards.
