Description

A global urban atlas of nature-based solutions for climate resilient cities. This project aims to systematically examine, map and provide a synthesis of the governance of nature-based solutions (NBS) in Australian and global cities. This project expects to generate new knowledge and a novel synthesis methodology about the global landscape of NBS governance, and explore the acceleration of urban transitions with NBS through a global urban atlas. The global urban atlas will inform policy agendas and identify how ecologically/climate challenged cities and regions can leverage NBS, and thus shift their governance approaches to be climate resilient in the future. This will benefit government and policy makers, and all people who live in these communities.. Scheme: ARC Future Fellowships. Field: 1205 - Urban and Regional Planning. Lead: Prof Niki Frantzeskaki
