Urban greening policies and measures have recently demonstrated significant potential to influence the design and transformation of the built environment, particularly in urban regeneration processes. This comprehensive book offers valuable insights into analytical methods, planning strategies, and shared governance tools that can effectively integrate Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) into urban planning practices. The selected contributions present real-life application cases, exploring the mainstreaming of NBS in cities through two primary challenges: the planning and design of physical and spatial integration of NBS on the one hand, and the implementation of suitable shared governance models and co-creation pathways on the other.
