Towards scaling up
Darja Kragić Kok gives an example: "The project idea developed with the Municipality of Tešanj in Bosnia and Herzegovina shows what can be achieved, as this municipality is the smallest one participating in the Blue-Green City Dialogues, but with dedicated stakeholders who are pursuing better living conditions for their citizens. In addition, Tešanj shares similar challenges with other municipalities in the region: flash floods from smaller rivers and streams. Therefore, the solutions we are working on could be scaled to other cities.
The whole initiative Blue-Green City Dialogues is an ongoing process, that requires continuous communication between all parties involved. We are looking forward to reaching out to more cities, and to get more Dutch organisations involved, based on what we have accomplished so far on a modest but very promising scale."
