Nature-based solutions (NBS) are a promising and innovative approach to address multiple sustainability challenges faced by cities. Yet, NBS not integrated into mainstream urban development practices. Based on qualitative comparative case study of Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, this shows how barriers mainstreaming shaped structural conditions in infrastructure regimes, which offers an improved, context-sensitive understanding why such persist. We identify underlying shaping seven key NBS: limited collaborative governance, knowledge, data awareness challenges, low private sector engagement, competition over space, insufficient policy development, implementation enforcement, public resources, challenging citizen engagement. This also advances regimes as complex, heterogeneous systems, made up different functional domains that define space available for innovations. Importantly, our comparison reveals similar planning processes caused across countries. For example, perceived causes engagement environmental lack resources support participation NIMBY-ism Netherlands. Our findings stress importance moving beyond 'silver bullet'-type approaches addressing barriers, towards systemic but responses, tailored specific regimes. systematic their can help both scholars practitioners pathways innovation.

Urban governance and planning systems are central cornerstones of international research policy initiatives to advance sustainable development, climate change adaptation, disaster risk reduction in the context increasing global environmental change. Yet, inherent processes components conventional systems, such as discourses, structures, tools, practices, must be revised drive a transition fundamentally new arrangements mechanisms. We present framework featuring four characteristics for capacitating urban accelerate shift toward transformative resilience: foresight path-shifting, collaboration leadership, creativity agility, experimentation embeddedness. The addresses that transformed highlights mechanisms required transformation.

Over recent decades Urban Living Labs (ULLs) have become a common space for co-creation processes' experimentation, whereby new approaches sustainable urban development are highly connected to support evidence-based policy generation. Europe seems particular 'hotspot' this approach whenever it comes public and specifically planning transition. Systemic changes related governance different participatory mechanisms, as in the case of ULLs, demand growing interest from stakeholders deliberation decision-making mechanisms. In research paper, we analyze pathways shared mechanisms three ongoing European projects: CLEVER Cities, Sharing SUNEX projects practice perspective. This comparative study investigates stakeholder engagement (1) scales, (2) (3) methodologies engagement, finally pathway challenges pitfalls. From analyzed ULLs' experiences, identified key principles that suggest relevant clues enable consolidation forthcoming ULL 2.0 model innovation co-creating policies.

Abstract While European regions face a range of different climate hazards, little is known about how these differences affect local adaptation planning. We present an analytical framework for evaluating plans (LCAPs) and apply it to 327 cities in 28 countries across regions. To do this, we use statistical methods identify regional clusters based on overall plan quality, impacts, vulnerable population groups, sectors addressed by LCAPs. By comparing both geographic clusters, found (1) significant spatial heterogeneity but (2) higher average quality scores more consistent strategies Central Eastern Europe. Notably, no regarding (a) the impacts communities identified plans: (b) most commonly which were urban temperature changing precipitation patterns; (c) residents that as vulnerable, namely older people, women, infants, sick. Our study provides analysis LCAPs uncover policy perspectives issues. Such approaches can effectively inform broader EU, national aim support planning context multi-level governance.
