Nature Based Cities

NATURE-BASED DEVELOPMENT ACCREDITATION

Nature Based Cities brings together leading minds from business, development, research and planning to champion a better way to develop cities in harmony with nature.

A growing proportion of the global population lives in cities – humanity is now predominantly urban. As we face global-scale pressures and challenges of climate change and sustainability, the health and liveability of our precincts and cities, and their contributions towards addressing these global challenges is increasingly important.

Just as many of the sustainability challenges we face emanate from cities, so too are cities potentially the locations for the solutions to these challenges. Creating nature-based cities, in which trees, living landscape and green spaces are essential elements that are integrated in the urban fabric, the infrastructure and the spaces and places within our cityscapes, is critical for sustainable and liveable urban futures.
