European Green Capital Award - Human Scale Toolkit

Human Scale

This toolkit showcases examples from European Green Capital Network members that have used sustainable mobility, green spaces, participation tools, co-housing initiatives and more to develop people-centred cities - places of advanced social progress, which often combine urban density with abundant public spaces and nature-rich areas.

Brochure

 The tool presents efficient strategies and proven solutions to help municipalities achieve the main components of a human scale city: livable density, an 'eye-level’ landscape, to embrace diversity and provide a high quality of life for all.
