A Framework for Addressing Circularity Challenges in Cities with Nature-Based Solutions

Abstract: A novel framework is presented that aims to guide practitioners and decision makers toward a better understanding of the role of nature-based solutions (NBS) in the enhancement of resources management in cities, and the mainstreaming of NBS in the urban fabric. Existing frameworks describing the use of NBS to address urban challenges do not specifically consider circularity challenges. Thus, the new framework provides the following: (1) a comprehensive set of Urban Circularity Challenges (UCCs); (2) a set of m… Show more

“…The list of NBS_u/i and S_u presented in Langergraber et al [13] and Castellar et al [18] was used as a basis for evaluating their relevance for the following urban sectors: building systems, building sites, urban water management, resource recovery, and urban farming. In this paper, urban sectors also correspond to the working groups of the COST Action Circular City, whereby the evaluation for the overall sector of built environment was separately done for building systems (the building itself) and building sites (including the surroundings of buildings).…”

“…The extent to which NBS_u/i can address multiple urban sectors was based on the methodology presented by Langergraber et al [13] to evaluate the potential of NBSs to address UCCs. In this sense, the selected NBSs for each urban sector were evaluated according to the following scores: (1) the NBS_u/i are relevant (score = 1); (2) the NBS_u/i might be relevant, depending on the system design (score = 0.5); (3) the NBS_u/i is not relevant (score = 0).…”
