About the Course

How can we work with nature to design and build our cities? This course explores urban nature and nature-based solutions in cities in Europe and around the world. We connect together the key themes of cities, nature, sustainability and innovation. We discuss how to assess what nature-based solutions can achieve in cities. We examine how innovation is taking place in cities in relation to nature. And we analyse the potential of nature-based solutions to help respond to climate change and sustainability challenges. This course was launched in January 2020, and it was updated in September 2021 with new podcasts, films and publications. The course is produced by Lund University in cooperation with partners from Naturvation – a collaborative project on finding synergies between cities, nature, sustainability and innovation. The course features researchers, practitioners and entrepreneurs from a range organisations....

I recently had the opportunity to take the course "Urban Nature: Connecting Cities, Sustainability, and Innovation," and I must say that it was a highly enlightening and thought-provoking experience.

I enjoyed this course, especially the readings that provided different case studies showing how nature-based solutions are being implemented in cities around the world. I would have loved some information about how as a student I could tangibly make a real difference in the field of nature-based solutions. Personally, I would welcome more information on organisations that are expanding / researching nature-based solutions with some suggestions of how to get involved. I feel much more informed about this topic but still feel as if there is a gap between my knowledge and the practical skills I would need to progress in this area.

A good insight to examples of how urban-context nature-based solutions like green infrastructure and their enabling conditions. It sure has encouraged me to reflect on what my city is doing to increase biodiversity, reduce flooding or ponding, increase recreational spaces, use nature to cool urban areas, purify water, and educate people about the environment.

I really liked the course and the idea behind it, but I feel it lacked some technical, quantity data, for example how much the temperature in Melbourne would increase if they lost their urban forest, or how much would a green roof would, financially, contribute to a region (using installation and maintenance costs).

Other than that, it was a great course!

This course holds a lot of information about how to organize nature based solutions, which ways work out, how to address stake holders, what problems did emerge and so on. I really liked it and especially the reading section was very informative. I still don't like the tests, I believe they could pose more qualified questions.

A good start to understanding the basic facets of Nature-based Solutions. With the growing needs and concerns amongst the young generation regarding climate breakdown, this course can prepare professionals as well as students with research interest to dive into the world of green infrastructure.

I love the way the course was set up. Very helpful and easy to pay attention with different videos and presenters. I also appreciated the readings, resources, and how they really give examples about different parts of the world. It was a little too theoretical for me but I still learned a lot!

The course is an eye-opener to the importance of nature to the human enviroment. The cousre does not explains the importance of nature but it also provides pathways to make nature-based solutions possible. The course is absolutely amazing.

Well curated and researched information on the start of the art of Nature Based Solutions. Readings were comprehensive - better summaries or key information sections would have been helpful. Quiz questions could be more clear.

The only thing i didn't like is when native speakers speak, the subtitles and cc makes it hard to read, wither cc should be removed or should changeits position. Overall Great Course, learned a lot. Thank you Lund University!

Peer review assignment placed in the second week seems to be an excellent arrangement. Providing the Urban Nature Compendium is another excellent arrangement.

I personally believe that the course provides you a broader vision of NBS and helps you know more about how to implement NBS in your city.
