Green infrastructure is used to address urban challenges such as climate change adaptation, disaster risk reduction, and stormwater management. In addition, thermal comfort nature-based solutions reintroduce critical connections between natural and urban systems. In light of ongoing developments in sustainable urban development, the goal is a paradigm shift towards a landscape that restores and rehabilitates urban ecosystems. The ten contributions to this book examine a wide range of successful cases of designing healthier, greener and more resilient landscapes in different geographical contexts, from the United States of America and Brazil, through various European regions, to Singapore and China. While some chapters attempt to conceptualize the interconnections between cities and nature, others clearly have an empirical focus. Therefore, this volume provides a rich body of work and acts as a starting point for further studies on restoration of ecosystems and integrative policies such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 606 $aGeography$2bicssc 610 $abuilding-integrated photovoltaics 610 $avertical farming 610 $ashading devices 610 $adesign optimisation 610 $alow-carbon architecture 610 $amulti-criteria decision assessment 610 $aold field succession 610 $atree establishment 610 $amicroclimate 610 $aplant-soil interactions 610 $asoil nutrients 610 $aLapalala Wilderness 610 $alife cycle costs 610 $astormwater management 610 $astorm water management model 610 $anatural hazard insurance 610 $aclimate change adaptation 610 $adisaster risk reduction 610 $anature-based solutions 610 $anature assurance scheme 610 $ainsurance value of ecosystems 610 $aflood risk reduction 610 $athermal comfort enhancement 610 $amicroclimatic simulations 610 $aMike Urban 610 $aENVI-met 610 $aecological security 610 $adriving force 610 $ayangtze river urban agglomeration 610 $asustainable tourism 610 $asmart tourism 610 $amobile applications 610 $anature recreation 610 $agreen infrastructure 610 $astakeholder participation 610 $acollaborative governance 610 $aurban sustainability 610 $acitizen perceptions 610 $acoastal restoration 610 $aoyster 610 $amarsh 610 $aseagrass 610 $arestoration success 610 $acoastal habitat 610 $aexotic species 610 $aurban biodiversity 610 $aurban ecosystems 610 $acarbon neutral cities 615 7$aResearch & information: general 615 7$aGeography 700 $aPanagopoulos$b Thomas$4edt$01296344 702 $aPanagopoulos$b Thomas$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557467703321 996 $aNature-Based Solutions for Restoration of Ecosystems and Sustainable Urban Development$93036028 997 $aUNINA
