Abstract
URBiNAT is a 6-year project (2018 to 2024), funded by the EU H2020 Programme, focused on the regeneration of under-served urban neighbourhoods through the co-creation of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS). NBS are implemented together to form Healthy Corridors which act as drivers in the transformation of social housing neighbourhoods, and the wellbeing of residents.
URBiNAT has three Frontrunner cities, Porto, Nantes and Sofia, based on their innovative use of public space through nature-based solutions (NBS), and four Follower cities, Siena, Nova Gorica, Brussels and Høje-Taastrup, sharing their knowledge and replicating URBiNAT concepts and methodologies.
The project also consists of an international network of Observer Cities and Institutes, Khorramabad City (Iran), URBEM (Brazil), CEMPA (Brazil), Delft University (Netherlands), Cyprus Institute (Cyprus), Setsuan University (Japan), Nanhai City (China), Open Government – São Paulo (Brazil).
