Description

 

Water has a fundamental role in urban sustainability, whether it is in excess or often scarce and contaminated. Nature-based solutions are innovative approaches that regenerate areas affected by human activities, restoring key ecological functions that improve people’s quality of life. They are hence fundamental to make the water cycle more sustainable and resilient. As a result of the third EU–Brazil Sector Dialogue on nature-based solutions, this book gathers knowledge and experiences from a diversity of authors in order to bridge the gap between science and the realisation of a new vision for sustainable cities. We hope this book is a source of knowledge and inspiration so that new, more ecological visions rapidly become a reality, thus preparing cities for the massive challenges they face.
