| The
UBC and the Award Evaluation Committee had the honour to declare the City
of Cēsis and the Environmental Development Board as
the winner of the UBC Best Environmental Practice in Baltic Cities Award
2003.
The motivation states that
the City of Cēsis has in an innovative way involved citizens and other
stakeholders in the planning process and practical work for improving
the bio-diversity and the green areas in the city. In this way City of Cēsis has formed the basis for a long-term participatory process with
the Environmental Development Board (EDB) taking part not only in the
greenery area but also influencing in policy areas like territorial
planning.
