Overview of the #GreenMyCity Grant program:

The #GreenMyCity initiative is designed to enhance urban green spaces, including parks, community gardens, sports fields, and public open spaces. It aims to improve air, soil, and water quality, reduce urban noise, and cool city temperatures while encouraging physical activity, stress relief, and social interaction.
