Description: 

This paper discusses NbS planning for the Jialing River in Wusheng County to address three challenges: · how to transform the riverfront planning from specialized to holistic · how to effectively communicate NbS in planning · how to incorporate both scientific results and local wisdom into NbS decision-making. This study calls for reflections on two aspects of NbS planning: · how to communicate NbS ideas effectively during planning · how to conduct NbS planning in places with different social–ecological challenges and different government regimes
