Project Resources
D4.1: Co-Creation of URBiNAT NBS (live) Catalogue and Toolkit for Healthy Corridor RESTRICTED
The aim of this deliverable is to define and explain the URBiNAT NBS “living” Catalogue and to introduce the New NBS that have been co-created in frontrunner cities. The document describes the rationale behind the development of the URBiNAT NBS “living” Catalogue and the connection between the latter and the process for the co-creation of a Healthy Corridor. It also describes each NBS of the catalogue according to the research carried out so far, as part of the project. This information aims to generate a reference document that can be used as a tool by municipalities (e.g. follower and observer cities) that plan to regenerate urban areas using a catalogue of NBS.
