Inner city courtyards represent untapped potential for urban green space. In this fourth podcast episode from What’s That Green?’s special podcast series with JUSTNature, we visit Munich, Germany. The municipality and a wide range of local actors have been collaborating on temporary green solutions in response to rising urban temperatures. The testing phase has thrown up as many challenges as answers, but gives plenty of clues as to how local partnerships, care, and creativity can make processes more equitable, so that overlooked urban spaces become shared places that are full of life.

In this episode of What’s That Green?, we sit down with Waldemar Olbryk, CEO of Archicom, to explore how the Fuzja project in Łódź is transforming a former industrial site into an iconic urban space, where heritage meets innovation, and nature is an essential part of the design. From activating underused land to creating meaningful public spaces, we dive into the mindset and methods behind one of Poland’s most ambitious urban redevelopment projects.

In this episode , we travel to Szombathely, where a neglected schoolyard and an overlooked riverside plot were transformed into green spaces. JUST Nature project, the municipality and ABUD co-designed nature-based solutions with the community turning forgotten sites into places people now love and care for.
