The PilotGreen project: From Experiments to Systemic Urban Transformation. PilotGreen explores how innovative green infrastructure pilots are shaping the future of sustainable urban development. As cities face mounting environmental and social challenges, green infrastructure solutions, ranging from rain gardens and vegetated roofs to urban wetlands and permeable pavements, offer not only environmental benefits, but also pathways towards more resilient, inclusive, and livable communities. This webinar highlights how localised, experimental green infra projects can be scaled up into transformative urban strategies. We will look at case studies where small-scale interventions have influenced policy, reshaped public space, and laid the foundation for systemic change. Follow experts from the municipal and private sectors and other urban innovators in presentations and discussion about going from green infrastructural experiments to creating a lasting impact—and reimagining urban planning from the ground up.

The PilotGreen -project is developing new and innovative green infrastructure solutions in urban experimental environments. They are necessary solutions for adapting to climate change and increasing biodiversity in a dense urban environment. The project aims to bring together developers of green infrastructure solutions, such as modular solutions and those integrated into buildings, as well as developers of digital solutions, and to bring along new technology players in the sector. The target groups of the project are the cities and municipalities of Uusimaa and Päijät-Häme Regions, RDI actors, SMEs in the field and procuring companies. The project partners are the City of Helsinki's innovation company Forum Virium Helsinki and the Universities of Applied Science Metropolia and LAB.
