We are happy that our book, Nature-based Solutions for Cities, Edited by Timon McPhearson, Nadja Kabisch, and Niki Frantzeskaki is now published and free to download Open Access here.
Nature-based Solutions for Cities is a tremendous collection of critical content on the state of NbS research in urban areas and needs for expanding effective practice. We are over 60 authors from the global north and south and with the majority of chapters led by women.
Nature-based Solutions for Cities is a handbook for graduate students, early career professionals, and emerging and advanced scholars to begin working with NBS in ways that consider multiple perspectives, disciplines, and ways of knowing. Together, the chapters in this book aim at understanding how NBS can be better managed, planned, and engaged with, and to center questions of NBS for whom and for what? Through chapters led by experts, we describe key knowledge and learning for advancing the interdisciplinary science of NBS in, for and with cities and discuss the frontiers for next-generation NBS.
