The Route-to-PA project intends to contribute to the Agenda 2030 by enhancing urban

community development and empowerment. In particular, the seminar will present results

regarding an open base platform, which aims to rise the participatory engagement of citizens

through smoothing citizens’ access to PA data, allowing social interaction over open data, and

facilitating online communities networking.

The project adds to the Agenda 2030 goal – stated in the SDG 11 –, which aims to develop more

‘inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable cities’. In the context of a unique urban growth that the

world has been experiencing in the last decades, the Agenda 2030 recognizes the importance of

strengthening urban planning and management to move towards a more equal and sustainable

path. In particular, the Route-to-PA project will tackle one of the key objectives of SDG 11, which

is to ´´enhance inclusive and sustainable urbanization and capacity for participatory, integrated

and sustainable human settlement planning and management in all countries
