Based at the University of Aveiro (Portugal), the UNaLab_PT project is the Portuguese branch of a scientific project – financed by the EU – which aims at contributing to the development of smarter, more inclusive, more resilient and more sustainable urban communities through the implementation of nature-based solutions (NBS), co-created with and for local stakeholders and citizens.
“By establishing Urban Living Labs (ULL) at our three front-runner cities – Eindhoven, Tampere and Genova – UNaLab seeks to help implementing a variety of NBSs focused on tackling climate change, biodiversity loss, air pollution and water related urban challenges.
The front-runner cities actively collaborate and share their experiences with our seven follower cities – Stavanger, Prague, Castellón, Cannes, Başakşehir, Hong Kong and Buenos Aires – as well as our two observers – Guangzhou and the Brazilian Network of Smart Cities.
The project results will enable the development of a European NBS Reference Framework on benefits, cost-effectiveness, economic viability and replicability of nature-based solutions, which will guide cities across Europe and beyond in developing and implementing their own co-creative nature-based solutions.” in https://unalab.eu/
