The Center for Development of the Eastern Planning Region, the Municipality of Shtip and the Municipality of Gotse Delchev from the Republic of Bulgaria, have started the preparation of a Joint Strategy for Green Infrastructure (2025 – 2035) for the Eastern Planning Region, (R. S. Macedonia) and Gotse Delchev (R. Bulgaria). The Joint Strategy for Green Infrastructure (2025-2035) is being prepared within the framework of the project: “TRANSFORMING URBAN AREAS WITH GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE” ECOSCAPE BGMK0300060, funded by the Cross-Border Cooperation Programme Interreg – IPA Bulgaria – North Macedonia INTERREG VI-A IPA 2021-2027.
At the first workshop held on May 20, 2025 (Tuesday) at Hotel “OAZA” – Shtip, the participants present, representatives of municipalities, public institutions and non-governmental organizations, within the Eastern Planning Region, were introduced to the goals and activities of the EcoScape project. The participants were also introduced to the concept of green infrastructure in more detail and sustainable examples and practices for green infrastructure were discussed. The main emphasis of the workshop was placed on determining the methodology for the development of a Joint Strategy for Green Infrastructure (2025 – 2035) for the Eastern Planning Region (R. S. Macedonia) and the Municipality of Gotse Delchev (R. Bulgaria).
Within the framework of the EcoScape project, the construction of three parks in the Municipality of Shtip is also underway, which should be an excellent example of transforming urban areas into green infrastructure, on an additional area of about 1 hectare.
During 2025, the Center for Development of the Eastern Planning Region is expected to complete the development of the first Green Infrastructure Strategy.
