Nature-Based Solutions (NBSs) have gained prominence in urban planning as integrative strategies that utilize natural processes to address complex environmental and societal challenges while advancing green infrastructure development. Despite growing academic interest, the practical integration of NBSs into remains hindered by fragmented methodologies limited understanding context-specific implementation dynamics. This study contributes addressing these gaps through a systematic review bibliometric analysis 90 peer-reviewed articles published between 2014 2024. It examines range employed infrastructure, factors shaping their successful implementation, barriers, financial, technical, social, political, constrain adoption. The also explores roles key stakeholders, including local governments, private actors, communities, planning, execution, maintenance NBS projects. findings reveal both conceptual convergence contextual variation how are deployed evaluated, highlighting critical enablers, such spatial justice, governance integration, financial viability, technical capacity. By clarifying conditions under which function effectively, this offers insights for researchers policymakers seeking embed approaches within sustainable development frameworks.

Intensifying heat from warming climates regularly concentrates in urban areas lacking green infrastructure the form of space, vegetation, and ample tree canopy cover. Nature-based interventions older U.S. city cores can help minimize island effect, yet neighborhoods targeted for cooling may remain outside decisional processes through which change affects their communities. This translational research seeks to address health disparities originating absence neighborhood-level vegetation core areas, with a focus on cover mitigate human susceptibility extreme exposure. The development LiDAR-based imagery enables communities visualize proposed greening over time across seasons actual neighborhood streets, thus becoming an effective communications tool community-engaged research. These tools serve as example how visualization strategies initiate unbiased discussion interventions, educational vehicle around impacts climate change, invite distributional participatory equity residents low-income, nature-poor neighborhoods.
