Currently, the world is facing resource scarcity as environmental impacts of human intervention continue to intensify. To facilitate conservation and recovery ecosystems transform cities into more sustainable, intelligent, regenerative, resilient environments, concepts circularity nature-based solutions (NbS) are applied. The role NbS within green infrastructure in urban resilience recognised, considerable efforts being made by European Commission (EC) achieve sustainability goals. However,...
In the context of freshwater scarcity, effective water resource management is essential. This study explores techniques to optimise use local sources and promote conservation, proposing a model balance supply demand non-potable in urban environments. The serves as an alternative or complement public supplies, particularly drought-prone regions. Through qualitative analysis national international regulations, specifications, technical standards, this research identifies key trends highlights...
Traditional engineering approaches are often inefficient and vulnerable, cities face increasing challenges due to population growth, consumption rates persistent inequalities. This paper aims identify Nature-based Solutions (NbS) for water-sensitive European cities, categorising interventions according their essential ecological functions urban resilience. Through analysis of 77 projects in 46 with at three spatial scales, it examined a variety actions that impact water management,...
