Currently, the world is facing resource scarcity as environmental impacts of human intervention continue to intensify. To facilitate conservation and recovery ecosystems transform cities into more sustainable, intelligent, regenerative, resilient environments, concepts circularity nature-based solutions (NbS) are applied. The role NbS within green infrastructure in urban resilience recognised, considerable efforts being made by European Commission (EC) achieve sustainability goals. However, it not fully evidenced, an integrated way, which main implemented environment their effects. This article aims identify most recent applied environments at level analyse integration different measures innovative analysis based on real cases. For this purpose, work presents a literature review 69 projects 24 cities, well 8 actions 3 spatial scales implementation district level. Therefore, there great potential for adoption buildings surroundings, still prioritized, given lack effective monitoring effects NbS.

As society tries to tackle climate change around the globe, communities need reduce its impact on human health. The purpose of this review is identify key stakeholders involved in mitigating and adapting change, as well type characteristics community empowerment actions implemented so far address problem. Published unpublished studies from January 2005 March 2022 English Portuguese were included review. search, conducted PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, MEDLINE, Web Science, SciELO, RCAAP (Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto Portugal), followed a three-step search strategy. Data extraction was performed by two independent reviewers, using an tool specifically designed for questions. Twenty-seven eligible inclusion: six used interviews qualitative method, three systematic reviews, case study analyses, surveys questionnaires quantitative methods, integrative baseline utilized process model design. Six targeted local, public private stakeholders. Community settings context target fifteen studies, whereas twelve referred urban settings. Seven types acknowledged across characterised hybrid interventions referring leading stakeholders: local governments, non-governmental organizations, civil society, universities, health, sectors.

Strategies for Co-Creation and Co-Governance in Urban Contexts: Building Trust in Local Communities with Limited Social Structures

Urban Science, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 8(1), С. 9 - 9

Опубликована: Янв. 25, 2024

Over the last few years, community empowerment has become a central focus when discussing sustainability of large-scale urban regeneration processes, especially those related to implementation nature-based solutions. In this article, authors describe experience CLEVER Cities project in city London, by looking at dynamics early stages co-creation and implications on co-governance, motivation policy. Particular attention is given importance carefully evaluating context guide where emphasis use specific strategies such as building trust, raising awareness or networking. case, set emerge that are response several factors but strongly influenced backdrop limited social structuring encountered South Thamesmead, London. The methods derived based qualitative looped observation approach over three phases applied living labs area. Finally, structure results, an iterative co-production knowledge used cluster into ten more synthetic recommendations collaborative governance, communication capacity building, well incentives motivation. Further, guidance highlighting priorities inform policy place-based planning actions.

Within the framework of CLEVER Cities Horizon 2020, London, Milan, and Hamburg are putting in place nine Urban Living Labs order to implement Nature-based Solutions that address urban challenges socially disadvantaged neighborhoods. In this article, means by which co-creation processes pathways may lead innovation governance structures considered. Through a comparative case study analysis, research aims identify integrated, collaborative frameworks complex adaptive, as well reflect actual changes cities. Herein, ULLs intended not just vehicle for place-based regeneration but also starting point governance. it is considered how current local achieve transformational change.

Towards Adaptive Governance of Urban Nature-Based Solutions in Europe and Latin America—A Qualitative Exploratory Study

Sustainability, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 15(5), С. 4479 - 4479

Опубликована: Март 2, 2023

The concept and application of nature-based solutions (NBS) have been rapidly progressing in Europe Latin America, reflecting a transition the way that urban governance is perceived. There large call for collaborative, polycentric, interdisciplinary NBS. However, research on options operationalising these processes different contexts still insufficient. This study explores analyses operationalisation NBS adaptive America. Seven cities are part project EU-H2020 CONEXUS selected as case studies: Barcelona, Bogotá, Buenos Aires, Lisbon, Santiago de Chile, São Paulo, Turin. contribution aims to (i) understand how managed; (ii) identify main positive negative factors influence governance; (iii) common relationships can hinder or drive forward investigated contexts. results revealed priorities indicating shared pathway America; however, context-dependent specificities were also observed. These findings be used support both European American developing plans actions more efficient enabling implementation through governance.

Trends and patterns in the application of co-production, co-creation, and co-design methods in studies of green spaces: A systematic review

Environmental Science & Policy, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 152, С. 103642 - 103642

Опубликована: Ноя. 22, 2023

Participatory and collaborative approaches such as co-production, co-creation, co-design have become popular they encourage meaningful participation of wider stakeholders in research decision-making processes to ensure that greenspace benefits the local community. There is, however, a need understand why how researchers use these successful each are. This systematic review synthesizes existing evidence provide answers questions. followed PRISMA guidelines includes studies using co-design, or co-creation approach study green spaces. The search was conducted from August November 2022 four academic databases, including SCOPUS, Proquest, Web Science, EBSCOhost. Thematic analysis used analyze synthesize data. Sixty-one met inclusion criteria were reviewed. We show methods potential increase public engagement help develop spaces satisfy needs communities. To realize full stakeholder engagement, consider enablers constraints social capital, attributes involved, overall design. work illustrates some barriers might restrain effective implementation methods. Particularly, lack description impact evaluation makes it challenging are more than conventional participatory which subjects participants play passive role. In addition, largely interchangeably.

The IPCC AR6 report advises that climate change will exacerbate storm surges and coastal flooding in the eastern Mediterranean basin upcoming decades. above is particularly acute low-lying arid cities developing nations like Alexandria. communities' lack of awareness these rising vulnerabilities subsequently impacts their willingness to tackle challenges. latter strongly relies on public perception efficiency ongoing waterways waterscape transformations, which remains largely unquantified. To address this deficiency, we evaluate factors for historic transformed 21-km canal Alexandria's vulnerable port city. We perform a survey based City Development Strategy Sustainable criterion, assessing inhabitants' perceptions degeneration transformation city's most iconic urban waterway. Our results suggest waterscape's multiple transformations negatively influenced led disconnection from maritime heritage, visual attributes, environment. This resulting decades degrading inefficient landscape mainly observed among youth further compromises resilience hazards aggravates ecological degradations. an adaptive conceptual plan regeneration restore roles mitigating climatic challenges improving connectivity marine identity.
