Sport and Recreational Center - I Love Butel
This initiative will monitor the election promise of the Mayor of Butel to build a sports and recreation center “I love Butel”, which should be built in Butel 1, at Ho Chi Minh street. Butel Municipality is one of the least developed municipalities that make up the City of Skopje. In the past period, very little was invested in the construction of playgrounds, green areas, bike paths, parks, etc. In the election program of the Mayor of Butel Municipality, the construction of more playgrounds, paths and green areas was foreseen. At a time when the city of Skopje is very often on the lists of the most polluted cities in the world, one of the ways to prevent that pollution is to increase the green areas in the city. The obtained results of the monitoring will be disseminated to the public through: Media appearances, creation of banners for facebook and instagram, production of videos and distribution of information flyers.
