Abstract: The project aims to promote the use of green and blue infrastructures in urban areas and in intra and extra-city protected areas. The aim of the initiative is to develop these areas as multifunctional spaces that are not only accessible and safe, but capable of stimulating sociality and community cohesion. In this sense, we also want to promote the participatory knowledge of all the actors responsible for the maintenance and use of the various related infrastructures and to fully understand the benefits that the use of these areas entails to achieve greater psycho-physical well-being, with particular regard to the most vulnerable population groups such as the elderly and children.
