Aiming for integrated planning approaches and neighborhood improvement strategies with a strong focus on resilience and sustainability and nature based solutions. Through a participatory approach, we developed a multiple scenario planning, identifying critical sites related to the ecology/environment, flood risks, local economic development, public spaces and equipment, and mobility amongst others, in order to produce site specific multi-functional designs and green infrastructure solutions that can enhance local appropriation and community development.
