Nature4Cities - Geocluster4NBS

Discover inspiring projects and choose your NBS with the Nature4Cities project observatory and pre-selection tool Are you a policy-maker, or work as an engineer, and would like to obtain an overview of the potential of NBS for a more sustainable and liveable city? With Nature4Cities Geocluster4NBS you can select the challenges you want to address and the scale at which you intend to implement NBS. You obtain the related NBS and pioneer projects. Using this project database, you can find inspiration from existing projects. You can even check the replicability of the pioneer project or NBS on your own site.

Additional information

Geocluster4NBS is a project database which presents pioneering urban NBS projects at different scales and in different European countries and allows users to explore different kinds of implementation models for NBS in real cases.
Using the preselection function, the user can select the challenges they wish to address and the scale at which they intend to implement an NBS. This produces a map containing related NBS and pioneering projects. With the help of this project database, the user can gain inspiration.
Finally the user can check the possibilities for replication of the pioneer project or NBS on their own site. With this function it is possible to check on a map the applicability of an NBS in a real urban context. At Nature4Cities, replicability maps are available for the four pilot cities.
