Description:
This study provides a literature review of ways cities can be transformed into more resilient, and sustainable regions by creatively enhancing the quality and quantity of blue and green areas in and around them. The outcomes show that:· It is essential that the benefits of NbS are quantified with easily measurable outcomes that are readily understood by practitioners, city policy-makers and members of community organizations, based upon specific geographical and climatological contexts. · More research is needed on anticipatory learning, back casting and community participation to help to effectively implement the appropriate NbS for improving the sustainability of urban systems.
