📍 Baia Mare’s role in SPADES
As a pilot area, the Baia Mare Metropolitan Area focuses on revitalising degraded lands and shaping integrated planning strategies. URBAN2020, as a support partner, plays a key role in facilitating collaboration, stakeholder engagement, and knowledge transfer throughout the project.
This first step lays the foundation for soil assessments, pilot site selection, and the development of solutions to bring degraded land back into productive and sustainable use.
