Davis, M; Mederake, L; McFarland, K; McGlade, K; Skodra, J; Moebus, S (2020). Establishing a framework to measure the impact of nature-based solutions on urban regeneration within CLEVER Cities. Factsheet 4, CLEVER Cities, H2020 grant no. 776604.
This factsheet explores the potential impacts of nature-based solutions in four key social and economic facets of urban regeneration to create a shared understanding and common approach within the CLEVER Cities project. Along with the overarching concept of urban regeneration, the following sub-themes are explored: human health and well-being; sustainable economic prosperity; social cohesion and environmental justice; and citizen safety.
Each concept includes a definition and highlights which benefits are expected to emerge through the cities’ planned NBS interventions.
Within the transdisciplinary research and implementation project "Co-designing Locally-tailored Ecological Solutions for Value-added, Socially Inclusive Regeneration in Cities (CLEVER Cities)", Ecologic Institute coordinates the development of the CLEVER Knowledge Framework, consisting of a series of targeted guidelines, factsheets, and checklists to guide project activities.
