Improving the quality of life in the city of Vicovu de Sus in the context of the revitalisation of the urban environment by extending the area of green spaces for the recreative and leisure activities of the community Detail: In the context of economic and social development in recent decades, many urban localities in Romania have suffered changes in terms of land use, especially at the expense of green spaces. The importance of green spaces lies from their ecological and social-economic functionality, from the ability to exercise certain natural functions and environmental protection, with an impact on the improvement of urban aesthetics. According to the European standard on the area of green spaces per capita, Vicovu de Sus does not align with EU requirements and capital injections are required in this direction. Thus, the growth of the green space area per capita in Vicovu de Sus city, generated by the proposed project, by reconversion of two lands with a total area of 10.600 sqm, will contribute to improving the quality of the community life and revitalising the urban space by arranging a territorial capital not used as green spaces equipped with logistics specific to leisure time. Through the proposed investment, the area of green spaces at the level of Vicovu de Sus will increase by 10.600 sqm, contributing to the improvement of the indicator on the area of green spaces per inhabitant, which shows an increase from 3.70 sqm to 4.36 sqm green space/inhabitant. Accessibility to green spaces is an important vector in ensuring their high utility, through the investment project being proposed to be modernised and a road on a length of 120 m (720 sqm) that leads directly to the land in the area of 5.100 sqm subject to investment. The modernisation of this road is necessary for the local population to benefit from an easy access to this green space with an extended surface, which will offer various opportunities for outdoor time. The expansion of the green space in the urban area of Vicovu de Sus and the provision of optimal recreation conditions for citizens will have a positive influence both on improving the aesthetics of the natural landscape of public spaces, in order to create a healthier environment, as well as on the attractiveness of the area for the residence, thus raising the quality of life in the urban environment targeted by the project. Through the proposed investment measures, the project on the creation of new green spaces in the city of Vicovu de Sus responds to the investment priority 5.2 The realisation of actions aimed at improving the urban environment, revitalising cities, regenerating and decontaminating brownfields (including reconversion areas), reducing air pollution and promoting noise reduction measures, established under the Regional Operational Programme 2014-2020,
