Nature-based Urban Regeneration

Cities around the world are seeking new, greener ways to transform their former industrial districts. These urban regeneration areas suffer from social and economic inequalities, lack quality green spaces and are significantly more vulnerable to climate change effects and natural hazards. Nature-based solutions (NBS) can contribute to improving environmental quality, social life and local economies in urban areas.

This course will show you how co-creating NBS can create liveable and productive green urban environments for empowered local communities and boost entrepreneurial value chains.

What you will learn:

Defining the potential of nature-based solutions for urban regeneration
Leading co-creation processes for developing context-specific productive green infrastructure with citizens
Applying methods to monitor and assess NBS benefits
Identifying technical and non-techical barriers to NBS implementation and learning how to overcome them
Developing sustainable business models for nature-based solutions in urban regeneration
Building your own nature-based urban regeneration project
