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...

Many people associate Building with Nature its flagship project, the Sand Motor. This mega-nourishment redefined role of natural processes in civil engineering projects, demonstrating that instead ‘do no harm’ as highest possible supporting goal coastal infrastructure, design could incorporate to attain societal and ecological goals. As such, Motor represents a key example integrated infrastruc...

Nature-based tourism has recently been the industry's focus, and nature become a tourist attraction worldwide. The increased activities participation in this type of have escalated growth research within area. Malaysia's current definition nature-based is vague, narrow, fragmented. As an essential component country's industry, it necessary to redefine since its features vary from one destinatio...

Nature-based Solutions (NbS) have rapidly been gaining traction across the research, policy and practice spheres, advocated as transformative actions to jointly address biodiversity loss climate change. However, there are multiple, alternative ways conceptualize NbS those three spheres. To inform discourses in practice, we critically reflect on prevailing framing of NbS. Although concept links ...

The Planetary Lake Lander Project is studying the impact of rapid deglaciation at a high altitude alpine lake in the Andes, where disrupted environmental, physical, chemical, and biological cycles result in newly emerging natural patterns. The solar powered Lake Lander robot is designed to monitor the lake system and characterize both baseline characteristics and impacts of disturbance events s...
