Nature-Based Solutions: The Holy Grail of Green Urbanism
Cities are living systems. A holistic vision for urban sustainability looks at the city as an integration of energy, environment, mobility, urban design, new technologies, and most importantly “people and nature”. In this article, the aim is to shed the light on the role of Nature-based solutions (NBS) towards addressing climate change crisis and tackling a variety of socio-ecological challenges. Firstly, and most importantly, we review the role of NBS in shaping urban planning policies as a result of expansion and densification of cities. Secondly, we reflect on the co-benefits generated by NBS within the social and cultural regeneration of cities. Lastly, in this article we give examples from Nice, Boston, and Milan in order to showcase those cities spatial strategies to implement NBS through different scales. As a result, we reflect upon the residual impact on cities territorial planning which remains mainly environmental and less explored culturally and socially.
