NatureScape aims to elevate urban NBS as pivotal elements in urban decision-making processes, focusing on the critical post-implementation phase. This includes enhancing biodiversity, mitigating climate change impacts, and fostering supportive, engaged communities. NatureScape adopts a comprehensive and transformative methodology inspired by six critical factors identified by the European Environmental Agency (EEA): Governance, Knowledge, Culture and Art, Finance, Data and Information, Technology.
NatureScape introduces a novel paradigm to urban ecosystems, emphasizing the symbiotic relationship between nature and society to cultivate regenerative environments. This approach challenges and extends beyond conventional urban planning and co-creation methods, advocating for a holistic integration of human and ecological interests over time. Through the establishment of Transformation Labs (T-Labs), the project pioneers a pathway to transformative change, employing adaptive and collaborative governance models that engage multiple stakeholders in the stewardship of urban environments.
