Transforming urban areas in accordance with the principles of Nature-Based Solutions
Settlement of the population in large urban centers contributes to the strong urbanization of substantial areas, especially increasing the density of buildings at the expense of green areas. Current trends are focused on sustainable development and the search for ways to ensure the permanent maintenance of the proper function of the ecological system. A sustainable approach is especially important for urbanized areas where nature is losing the fight against “concretosis”. The ecological idea, related to the concept of compensating the green space occupied by buildings, comes to the fore here, which provides ecological, economic and social benefits, and supports adaptation to climate change. The article presents the concept of transforming a specific urbanized area in accordance with the principles of Nature-Based Solutions. Detailed solutions on a local scale in Košice (Slovakia) were presented. Obtain ing positive results from the applied solutions on a local scale can have positive effects not only for the indicated area or city, but can be adapted in other European cities, which will contribute to the creation of green and resilient urbanscapes.
