The key philosophy of BwN is the employment of natural processes to serve societal goals, such as flood safety. The starting point is a systems-based approach, making interventions that employ the shaping forces of the natural system to perform measures by self-regulation. Initial pilots of this innovative approach originate from coastal engineering, with the Sand Motor along the coast of South Holland as one of the prime examples. From here, the BwN approach has evolved into a new generation of nature-based hydraulic solutions, such as mangrove forests, coastal reefs, and green dikes.Building with Nature perspectives Urban renewalUrban renewal.307.3Bergen Janneke vanHertogh MarcelBrand NikkiNijhuis SteffenNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910552991303321Building with Nature perspectives2985741UNINA
