Fostering nature-based solutions for smart, green and healthy urban transitions in Europe and China (REGREEN)

Description:

Nature based solutions (NBS) are promising approaches to mitigating societal and sustainability challenges of urbanization, including the impacts of climate change. NBS can support climate resilience and livability in cities, contribute to development of inclusive communities and promote innovative businesses. The REGREEN project aims to generate evidence of the multiple benefits of nature based solutions and to support their co-creation in urban settings.

Advanced socio-spatial and land-use models and big-data derived information are utilized to determine best suited solutions for re-greening of selected cities. Three Urban Living Labs, located in Denmark, France and Croatia, are the co-creative test beds of tools, methods and research outputs and will produce new guidelines and standards for the development and application of urban NBS.

Networking and sharing experiences between European, and to an extent Chinese, cities is supported by workshops, webinars and field trips. The future NBS market is strengthened through connections to the business and start-up community, organizing accelator programmes and exploring innovative NBS business cases.
