Ecosystem Services Analysis and Design through Nature-Based Solutions in Urban Planning at a Neighbourhood Scale

The new frontiers of sustainable cities should focus on urban planning tools and strategies that are able to integrate ecosystem services in development. An important step could include the design nature-based solutions (NbSs) for introducing ecological functions aiding human well-being mitigating loss soil. In this study, we propose a methodology analyse, spatial way, effect land use scenarios generated by provision services. analyses variation services, considering study area their potential roles changing planned actions as starting point. One scenario analysis includes integration NbSs into planning. case is peri-urban area, characterized an agroecosystem, which intended development municipality Gallipoli, Southern Italy. highlights low has had olive trees being destroyed Xylella fastidiosa bacteria. Thus, reducing construction buildings neighbourhood plan improve quantity area. Moreover, typology consideration points. Therefore, capacity at scale be tool design, useful support decision-making processes.
