Urban Soil Management Strategy (URBAN SMS) project joined the experience, expertise and efforts of eleven partners (research institutions and municipal authorities) from seven Central European countries. This three year project was launched in October 2008 under the CENTRAL EUROPE program and will be completed in February 2012. The main goal of URBAN SMS is to define, design and develop useful soil management strategies, applicable to urban planning with secondary goal to educate and raise the awareness among the responsible decision makers. This project aims to encourage the dialog between the professional audiences stressing the importance and value of soil resource in the urban and suburban environments. Such dialogue will contribute to sustainable management of land as a basic natural resource.
