The report "Governance Analysis for Planning and Implementation of Urban NBS" presents insights from a governance analysis conducted in the six INTERLACE partner cities: CBIMA (Costa Rica), Chemnitz (Germany), Envigado (Colombia), Granollers (Spain), Metropolia Krakowska (Poland), and Portoviejo (Ecuador). The analysis examines existing governance structures, policymaking and implementation practices, as well as challenges and enabling factors for advancing Nature-based Solutions (NbS) in urban areas.

Establishing a baseline for ecologically sound urban planning and governance approaches

By identifying governance needs and gaps, the report establishes a baseline for strengthening local governments' capacity to implement integrated, ecologically sound urban planning and governance approaches. The findings contribute to INTERLACE's objective of fostering sustainable and participatory NbS governance in cities.

The INTERLACE project is coordinated by Ecologic Institute. The report is available for download in German and Spanish.

By identifying governance needs and gaps, the report establishes a baseline for strengthening local governments' capacity to implement integrated, ecologically sound urban planning and governance approaches.
