Short summary
Naturo acts at the nexus of research, practice and policy to create an empirically tested framework that local governments can use to support the wider use of Nature Based Solutions across different user groups.
When managing urban Nature-based Solutions (NBS), it is crucial to consider the needs of different user groups, but this is sometimes challenging, especially for marginalised groups who might be excluded from meaningful use and related decision-making processes. Hence, it is important to study and understand the interplay between NBS and their management and use.
