Connecting Nature

Connecting (COproductioN with NaturE for City Transitioning, INnovation and Governance) Nature is a HORIZON 2020 research and innovation project on accelerating the scaling of nature-based solutions in European cities.

General introduction

Cities are transitionscapes, where transformative change can be scaled and amplified. Traditional public (spatial) planning processes cannot always harvest this potential of cities, and can even become counterproductive. Such processes do not include mechanisms that can take up lessons from experimentation, nor do they usually address conditions for the scaling up of transformative practices. The Connecting Nature project aims to co-develop the policy and practices necessary to scale up urban resilience, innovation and governance via nature-based solutions. It is a partnership of 31 organisations co-working with local authorities, communities, industry partners, NGOs and academics
