Restoring urban streams to promote Biodiversity, Climate adaptation and to improve quality of life in cities

Ecological restoration could help overheated cities with improving micro-climatic conditions and halting the decline of biodiversity. However, restoring green and blue nature corridors still lacks widespread acceptance among urban planners. The ReBioClim project addresses the many barriers and challenges for their nature-based solutions and strengthen the provision of sustainable biodiversity and ecosystem services. The partners focus on the re-establishment of urban streams. They analyse concrete challenges in four central European pilot areas, create and implement restoration plans, and produce a good-practice guide.
