Oradea Green City Program 2020-2023 is a strategic planning program that outlines the priority directions for the development of green urban public space in Oradea, with the overall objective of increasing the standard of living of citizens.
The strategic objectives of the programme are:
- Achieving a good quality infrastructure through appropriate urban planning, increasing the area of green space to 652 ha by 2030, i.e. increasing to 91.3% the population having access to an urban green public space within 5 minutes walking distance (approx. 300 m distance to the green public space);
- Improve environmental factors by increasing the green space per capita indicator to 29.4 sqm/capita by 2030;
- Enhancing the value of local tourist attractions by creating new tourist attractions, protecting and enhancing the city's green heritage.
The portfolio of priority projects for 2021-2030 focuses on urban regeneration projects aimed at improving the urban environment, revitalising towns and cities, regenerating and decontaminating brownfield sites (including redevelopment areas), reducing air pollution and promoting noise abatement measures, afforestation programmes and urban regeneration projects through neighbourhood centres and sub-centres.
Also included in the programme are projects to revitalise and improve the quality of green urban space, namely the modernisation and rehabilitation of existing parks, the improvement of street alignments, the equipping of existing green areas with street furniture and children's playground equipment and free access to sports fields in educational establishments in Oradea, outside school hours, in all establishments.
Noise Mapping involves, as defined in Law 121/2019, the presentation of data on the existing or predicted noise situation in relation to a noise indicator, highlighting the exceedances of limit values in force, the number of people affected or the number of dwellings exposed to certain values of a noise indicator for a given area.
During 2017, the City of Oradea submitted to the Bihor Environmental Protection Agency the strategic noise maps for the municipality of Oradea, and in 2018 it submitted the related Action Plan.
