The BIG4LIFE project will demonstrate that by applying xeriscaping and networking approaches, supported by the suitable smart solutions, not only the long-term viability of BIG systems is feasible, but also their positive service life, in terms of ecosystem services provided, is possible to be enhanced.

Co-designed with key stakeholders, and following a "by building typology approach", the elaborated plans will be tested and validated in real BIG projects under operational phase, both failed and successful ones.

The aim is to demonstrate that by means of establishing "networking approaches" through involving owners, users, maintenance companies, among other, as well as also taking advantage of the Community Service Learning methodologies, it is possible to achieve long-term sustainability for BIG systems.

Start date: September 2023 - End date: September 2026
