Governance of NbS forwards urban biodiversity: towards the triptych of collaborative, inclusive and integrative approaches

Governance of NbS forwards urban biodiversity: towards the triptych of collaborative, inclusive and integrative approaches in cities
Moderators: Israa H. Mahmoud (Politecnico di Milano); Niki Frantzeskaki (Utrecht University)
Invited Speakers: Emma Puerari (Politecnico di Milano, Design department), Katharina Hölscher (Utrecht university), and Daniela Rizzi – (ICLEI Europe)
The shared governance of NbS in place entails both 1) the processes dynamics and 2) the settings for integrating those actions in the existing planning and urban policies. The barriers faced are a sign that institutional path dependencies, persisting administration issues and deeply rooted practices need to be removed and innovative governance approaches need to be devised and experimented with for NbS to be mainstreamed in cities.
Against this background, current research brings three key characteristics to the forefront for the planning and governance of NbS in cities: it needs to be collaborative, inclusive, and integrated. As a step forward, we can propose that these are the starting characteristics of good governance of NbS in cities.
The session aims at opening up a dialogue on governance challenges related to nature-based solutions and urban biodiversity in cities. The invitees will be giving 5-10 minutes pitch speech each to initiate a take on the topic from three different countries’ perspective: Italy, Netherlands and Germany. The discussants Israa & Niki will provoke the audience to participate in the debate through questions and an interactive questions session with Mentimeter or similar.
