CONNECTING NATURE CITY REPORT MALAGA, Urban garden in Lagunillas

The City of Malaga is implementing measures to improve the environment and thus also improve the quality of life of
its citizens. The city is exploring ways to restore an ecosystem damaged by the impact of economic activity and through
the Connecting Nature project, learn more about the benefits of this framework and its methodology. The city had
already developed some nature-based solution but without applying the framework of the Connecting Nature project
This innovative framework involves a series of innovations in the way of facing and implementing nature-based
solution projects, introducing new elements such as co-production, co-creation, governance, financial and business
models, technical solutions, impact assessment, nature based entreprises and reflective monitoring when creating,
planning, executing, and maintaining those projects. The connecting nature framework seeks to optimize
environmental, economic, and social resources by applying its own work methodology.
