- In recent years nature-based solutions (NBS) have received increasing attention as a way to enhance urban resilience. NBS are often presented as an alternative or combination to grey infrastructure in disaster risk reduction and climate adaptation. More generally, they are seen as a deliberate intervention that seeks to use the properties of nature to simultaneously provide environmental, social, and economic benefits to address multifaceted challenges that cities face. Despite the recognized potential and benefits that NBS can offer, related knowledge is so far scarce and fragmented and the use of NBS for increasing urban resilience remains limited. To better understand the potential of NBS and their local implementation, we identify successful governance, finance, and public participation practices and the associated conditions that can enable (or limit) the emergence of NBS in cities. Based on an in-depth case study approach and in close collaboration with practitioners, we study how NBS have so far been implemented in some selected cities: Malmö, Melbourne, and Munich. Our results show how NBS governance emerges as a complex phenomenon, involving multiple social and political actors as well as diverse institutional and financial challenges, such as uneven landscapes of socio-economic power relations and inequalities in access to financing. Participative and reflexive forms of governance are central to overcome these challenges to support long-term social learning, new means of decision-making and new forms of citizen involvement.

The Routledge Handbook of Urban Resilience
- 2019

Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- This volume provides a comprehensive discussion and overview of urban resilience, including socio-ecological and economic hazard and disaster resilience. It provides a summary of state of the art thinking on resilience, the different approaches, tools and methodologies for understanding the subject in urban contexts, and brings together related reflections and initiatives.Throughout the different chapters, the handbook critically examines and reviews the resilience concept from various disciplinary and professional perspectives. It also discusses major urban crises, past and recent, and the generic lessons they provide for resilience. In this context, the authors provide case studies from different places and times, including historical material and contemporary examples, and studies that offer concrete guidance on how to approach urban resilience. Other chapters focus on how current understanding of urban systems ? such as shrinking cities, green infrastructure, disaster volunteerism, and urban energy systems ? are affecting the capacity of urban citizens, settlements and nation-states to respond to different forms and levels of stressors and shocks. The handbook concludes with a synthesis of the state of the art knowledge on resilience and points the way forward in refining the conceptualization and application of urban resilience.The book is intended for scholars and graduate students in urban studies, environmental and sustainability studies, geography, planning, architecture, urban design, political science and sociology, for whom it will provide an invaluable and up-to-date guide to current approaches across these disciplines that converge in the study of urban resilience. The book also provides important direction to practitioners and civic leaders who are engaged in supporting cities and regions to position themselves for resilience in the face of climate change, unpredictable socioenvironmental shocks and incremental risk accumulation.

- The nature of urban risk and disasters is changing. Hazards are increasing in intensity and frequency and their causes and after-effects are becoming more complex. Their unpredictable nature and impacts have a significant bearing on the mental wellbeing, fear, and stress levels of those who experience them, and on those involved in disaster risk reduction and management. Despite this situation, the urban resilience literature mainly addresses broader socio-economic and environmental systems, while there is a near-absence of literature that focuses on mental wellbeing in resilience. This reflects the failure of the academic community to debate the contribution of mind and wellbeing to urban resilience research. At the same time, there is an increasing number of studies that have examined mental wellbeing and associated cognitive/emotional and relational capacities, such as mindfulness. This chapter discusses the implications of these studies for urban resilience, with the aim of bridging the current gap between individual and systems approaches. It provides an overview of the key aspects of how the human mind, and mindfulness in particular, is inherently linked to disaster risk reduction for resilience building at different scales. On this basis, the chapter suggests how organizations and policy can address resilience more comprehensively, notably by putting people (with their values, beliefs, worldviews and associated cognitive/emotional capacities) at the center of urban resilience planning and enabling related pre- and co-conditions.
