Resource description:
The Urban Nature Atlas was developed in 2017 as an output of the Naturvation project (NATure-based URban innoVATION, a Horizon 2020 research project). The Atlas sought to collect evidence on nature-based solutions in order to provide a basis for the analysis of socio-economic and innovation patterns associated with the implementation of urban nature-based solutions in Europe. It also sought to provide an interactive online platform via which inspiring cases of nature-based solutions could be showcased and accessed on the project website.
Initial data collection for the Atlas was conducted from June to August 2017, and after initial data collection, the content of the database was regularly maintained, and all previously existing entries were reviewed and updated as of July - November 2020.
Advantages:
- The Urban Nature Atlas is the most comprehensive survey of nature-based solutions (NbS) in European cities.
- The Urban Nature Atlas allows users to apply multiple filters through a quick search or advanced search options and identify cases according to various criteria.
- Each nature-based solution project has a case study profile page that presents specific details of the project.
