Location, Description of intervention/project 

Platform for developing NBSs. To allow partners to communicate and promote successful NBS. Game scenario where you select an urban challenge and a potential solution and are given a case study.  

e.g. Amsterdam https://oppla.eu/node/18009 

  • Gren corridors to combar climate change and sea level rise  

 

Geographical scale of the project 

City-scale, within Europe. Idea is to scale these interventions up and use them elsewhere, however.  

Background information  

Formed as part of an H2020 clustering action.  

Case study: Oradea, Romania. 

  • Traffic density is causing air pollution problems 
  • Goal: increase green surface area, and spatial distribution.  
  • Brownfield site transformation.
