Description	Responsibility refers to the role stakeholders can and want to adopt at individual or collective levels, and this is affected by e.g. institutional context, physical and mental abilities, social norms and cultural values (Davoudi and Brooks 2014). In relation to the realisation and maintenance of NBS, we can ask how people have assumed responsibility and how they (and who) have allocated responsibilities to others. For instance, there can be expectations that people in a neighbourhood adopt responsibility to maintain an NBS, but this may not match with the ideas that those people have themselves (e.g. they may think that that is a task for the municipality).
