Having a common understanding and involving the main stakeholders is a fundamental step towards the creation of a Periurban Park. In Prague, the Institute for Planning and Development, organised a workshop to start a bottom-up approach creating the new periurban park. FEDENATUR and EUROPARC members shared their experiences with the key local stakeholders.
