Nature-based solutions for urban resilience

In the European research project NBSInfra, Fraunhofer EMI is investigating how nature-based solutions can strengthen the resilience of urban areas to climate-related hazards. 

The institute is examining the resilience of critical infrastructure in the event of flooding by mapping cascading effects. It also takes into account the results of a simplified model for measuring urban temperature developments and the heat island effect. 

The aim is to illustrate the advantages of nature-based solutions for urban resilience and to promote their integration into urban planning.
