ULC Goal

The aim of the urbanLIFEcircles project is to preserve, improve and sustainably manage green infrastructure in cities, increase biodiversity by restoring and improving the connectivity and health of ecosystems, and at the same time provide citizens with new recreational areas to spend time and enjoy the benefits of nature. In the project three cities – Riga (LV), Tartu (EE) and Aarhus (DK) – are united.

The project is implemented in cooperation with the municipality of the city of Riga, Latvian Fund for Nature, the municipality of the city of Tartu and the municipality of the city of Aarhus, as well as several other partners from Estonia. The main activities of the Latvian Fund for Nature are related to the creation and maintenance of HNV-grasslands – city meadows (45 areas) in Riga. City meadows will be created in the lawn areas of the Riga Municipality – wide roadsides, open areas in parks, squares and other suitable places. You can follow the development of the Urban Meadow network on the interactive Urban Meadows map.
