Living Streets – selection completed in Croatia and Greece

The Living Streets project will allow a group of cities from Croatia, Greece and Portugal to redefine the socio-economic and the aesthetic dimension of their streets within the urban development framework. To select the cities that will take part in the experiment, project implementing partners have launched national calls for interest. The selection has been made in Croatia and in Greece, and is underway in Portugal.
