ABOUT
This learning toolkit provides educational resources on urban renaturalization and nature-based solutions, exploring how cities can be transformed to enhance personal, collective and planetary health. It introduces emerging approaches, visions and real-world experiences that bring nature back into urban environments, including co-creation methodologies, participatory urban planning, community-led initiatives, biodiversity enhancement and urban commons. These resources are designed to help learners understand both the benefits and complexities of renaturalization, and how ecological, social and governance dimensions interact in shaping more resilient, inclusive and sustainable cities. The toolkit also presents real-world examples of renaturalization initiatives from different European contexts, demonstrating how citizens, researchers, public authorities, educational institutions and local communities collaborate to address urban sustainability challenges. The module is developed within the framework of the Distributed Learning Pilot, to support partners and local stakeholders in the four participating regions—Barcelona, Stavanger, Linköping/Norrköping, and Enschede—tackling the joint challenge: How can emerging technologies and collective design practices be integrated to create more inclusive and sustainable urban spaces?
