Abstract The EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 aims to ensure that Europe's biodiversity will be on the path recovery benefit of people, climate and planet.

For this purpose, European Commission advanced several mechanisms helping larger areas unlocking funding biodiversity; nonetheless a stronger need established governance framework includes people public participation across levels sectors is needed as well mechanism monitor progress target 14.

Urban green development is crucial for citizen well-being and serves as a key pillar of sustainable strategies. Collaborative governance mechanisms help address management, technical, financial challenges in urban development. The renovation old residential communities within the context renewal becoming focal point Chinese cities. To promote China, this study introduces collaborative mechanism government–social capital cooperation identifies factors influencing social participation A hybrid approach proposed, combining grounded theory, IGAHP subjective weighting, CRITIC objective game ISM. This applied to identify, evaluate, analyze driving communities. results indicate that government incentives constraints, policy support, costs benefits implementing renovation, technologies, construction technical abilities significantly influence decision-making capital. findings provide theoretical support by governments participating offer methodological reference analyzing other projects further formulation. Future research should focus on examining involvement types projects.

Urban experiments are widely acknowledged as key vehicles for testing and implementing greener alternatives in real-life urban settings. Less studied, however, the everyday governance practices through which actors involved attempt to co-materialize change. Mobilizing concept of socio-material tensions, this paper sheds light on how engage with barriers but also opportunities stemming from social material realities navigate. Through empirical analysis Living Laboratories (ULLs) fostering Nature-based Solutions Turin (Italy), tensions analysed starting strategic choice intervention sites, moving incremental embedding within spatial fabric city, then addressing challenge leaving a legacy that goes beyond short-term initiatives. Learning analysis, highlights tactics used navigate tensions; these can inform greening across many contexts. Tactics relate proactive leadership conflict management, intermediation, collaboration facilitation maintenance practices, improvisational governance, engagement politics experimentation.
