URBiNAT: Urban Innovative & Inclusive Nature

Healthy Corridors as drivers of social housing neighbourhoods for the co-creation of social, environmental and marketable NBS  

URBiNAT Cities

URBiNAT is a five-year EU Horizon 2020-funded project running from 2018 to 2023.

The project 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, acting as ‘followers’. 

The project also consists of an international network of Observer Cities and Institues, Khorramabad City (Iran), URBEM(Brazil), CEMPA (Brazil), Delft University (Netherlands), Cyprus Institute (Cyprus), Setsuan University(Japan), Nanahi City(China).
