Nature-based solutions and urban planning in the Global South
Urban Nature-based Solutions (NBS) are increasingly employed in research and practice to address the pressing environmental, social and economic challenges affecting cities. Nonetheless, there is a noticeable lack of an overview of the scholarship on the use of NBS in the Global South (GS) focusing especially on urban contexts, even though GS cities face unique socio-ecological challenges that could be addressed with NBS, as cost-effective and su…

The special issue explores distinct visions of what nature may mean in desirable futures, and its relations to humans. Preferable futures portray harmonio…
