Introducing a new MOOC: Nature Based Metropolitan Solutions

Featured image

Our new and third MOOC will start on May 21. During this course you will discover the potential benefits of nature-based solutions (NBS) in metropolitan areas and develop strategies for their implementation.

Unsustainable urbanization has resulted in the loss of biodiversity, the destruction of habitats and has therefore limited the ability of ecosystems to deliver the advantages they could confer. How can ecosystems contribute to quality of life and a more livable, healthier and more resilient urban environment?

Our third MOOC will introduce you to Nature-Based Solutions (NBS). NBS are potential solutions to metropolitan challenges that include principles based on natural processes in urban planning and design.

CINDERELA is a European consortium aimed at reducing the loss of raw materials in the construction sector with the aim of working towards circular construction. On Thursday 23 May we will share and discuss our results.

On behalf of the CINDERELA consortium, together with the Delft University of Technology and KplusV, we are proud to invite all interested actors and stakeholders active in the construction sector to work together to define key enabling actions that will serve as the foundation for a ‘Blueprint for a resource-efficient secondary raw material based construction sector’, an official document that will be part of the H2020 CINDERELA project New Circular Economy Business Models for More Sustainable Urban Construction.
