About this project

The need of project realization stems from the local vision, analysis of strategic local and national documents, focusing on the following areas: - environmental – low resistance of the city to climate changes, - spatial – insufficient amount of green, permeable areas and surfaces - infrastructural – insufficient amount of small architecture for activation of inhabitants - educational needs–low social awareness in the scope of climate protection ways The planned project tasks cover: - comprehensive revitalization of green areas, covering conduct of green areas, planting of trees, green bus- stops, - mounting of small architecture ensuring pro-natural activation of inhabitants - implementing solutions concerning rainwater management through drainage systems, water retentions, rain garden, - actions introducing biologically active areas and improving area permeability - implementing educational campaigns in the scope of climate protection. Project will result in new modern green-blue infrastructure, increasing city resistance to negative climate change. Adaptation/mitigation actions will lead to adaptation to climate changes, limiting Who is expected to benefit from this project and how will they benefit? (max 200 characters) Inhabitants of Jawor who will obtain green-blue infrastr. resistant to climate changes and facilities for social activities compliant with the rule of environment protection will benefit from pro. Project partner will be NGO: INTBAU from Norway. Partner’s role is active participation in the project educational campaign and transfer of knowledge on spatial shaping of the city based on the rules of sustainable development and respect for nature. Partner will participate in the conference commencing the project during which he will lead a lecture regarding planning solutions in correlation with environment protection. Also, the Partner will conduct a training for experts, enabling transfer of good practices and know- how in urban planning.

Bilateral cooperation results

INTBAU Norway (in Norwegian: INTBAU Norge) exists to bring together practitioners, academics, community leaders and general supporters in order to promote the values of traditional architecture and design, and to find solutions for challenges concerning the built environment. The implementation of the project with a foreign partner can be consolidated and expanded. The project was also a risk for the Jawor communes to combine cooperation and international cooperation. INTBAU will increase knowledge in the field of advanced solutions for adapting to technical changes, available in the field of buildings and greenery in public spaces, as well as communication in English, which is the possibility of using languages. Main joint activities with the Partner: organization of two international conferences with the participation of the Norwegian Partner, Intbau Norway and Intbau Polska. Very good, high-level presentations prepared by the partners. The presentations concerned modern solutions in passive construction, buildings and renovation in public space. Partners showed their projects, which are very innovative. Employees of the office in Jawor received a large dose of knowledge about biodiversity in cities and methods of rainwater recovery. Bilateral cooperation would aim to strengthen bilateral relations between the Jawor commune and Partner Intbau Norway. Cooperation could be based on existing contacts and involve the exchange, sharing and transfer of knowledge, technology, experience and best practices in the field of adaptation to climate change. Within the thematic areas of Adaptation to climate change, additional activities would be possible: e.g. international training on topics of common interest, exchange of experts, study trip and visit to Norway. The Jawor commune would be interested in this. All this can be achieved in the next 3 years.
