Integrating nature into urban and peri-urban spaces has a profound impact on both the environment and human well-being. In this Cities Talk Nature webinar we explored how nature-based solutions (NBS) extend beyond ecological benefits, significantly influencing the physical and mental health of communities.
We discussed how access to green spaces, sustainable landscaping, and biodiversity initiatives not only enhance our surroundings but also contribute to improved public health outcomes. Thank you to the speaker and all participants for the enlightening discussion on the transformative potential of nature-based solutions in fostering healthier and more resilient communities.
