While many local governments have applied degrees of engagement of users within their formal, bureaucratic, and hierarchical organisational structure, there is a demand for new governance structures that recognise the need for intra-organisational changes to overcome departmental silo effects, as well as to perform planning and management of NBS with users, rather than for users.
NATURO study how quality of life can be increased for marginalised groups, by using the potential of nature. We are developing a strategic framework for capacity building and empowerment of both local government and civil society stakeholders to co-create NBS.
NATURO re-develops existing urban NBS in small-scale, local, co-development interventions – Micro Urban Living Labs (MULLs) in three European cities: Velenje in Slovenia, Tyresö in Sweden and Den Bosch in The Netherlands.
NATURO acts at the nexus of research, practice and policy to create an empirically tested framework that local governments can use to support the wider use of Nature Based Solutions (NBS) across different user groups.
The Strategic Framework is being used, evaluated and refined in real-life settings, in order to serve and strengthen both the social and ecological resilience of urban areas.
