Nature for Sustainable Cities: Planning Cost-Effective and Just Solutions for Urban Issues – NATSOLIS Conference
February 26 - February 27
Naples, Italy
26 – 27 February 2026
The International Conference “Nature for Sustainable Cities: Planning Cost-Effective and Just Solutions for Urban Issues (NATSOLIS)” will explore the complex relationship between Nature-based Solutions (NBS) and urban and regional planning, addressing both their transformative potential and the challenges that arise when they are implemented in different territorial and socio-economic contexts. Building on recent international debates, the conference will examine how NBS contribute to urban regeneration, climate adaptation, risk mitigation, biodiversity enhancement, and improved environmental quality. At the same time, it will critically assess emerging concerns related to spatial justice, unequal access to NBS, green gentrification, and potential enhancement of existing socio-spatial inequalities.
Registration is open on the conference website.
