Urban resilience through adaptive multifutures and nature-based solutions

Urban Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) often fail to deliver their promised impact despite their potential for addressing climate change, biodiversity loss, and social inequities. This article offers an innovative framework - the Adaptive Multifutures Framework (AMF) - that bridges implementation gaps through four interconnected components: participatory visioning, scenario planning, fractal design, and immersive visualization, aiming to transform how cities design and implement NBS.

Abstract

Urban Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) often fail to deliver their promised impact despite their potential for addressing climate change, biodiversity loss, and social inequities. This article offers an innovative framework - the Adaptive Multifutures Framework (AMF) - that bridges implementation gaps through four interconnected components: participatory visioning, scenario planning, fractal design, and immersive visualization, aiming to transform how cities design and implement NBS.
