NetworkNature design brief series

IFLA Europe is proud to have contributed to the NetworkNature design brief series, the first of its kind, which comprise three design briefs on biodiversity-positive design recommendations for urban and peri-urban areas with nature-based solutions. The series presents simple design suggestions for renaturing in built environments to restore or provide habitat for nature. It is not meant to replace professional ecological or landscape guidance, but rather to encourage designers to intentionally consider how they can adopt an interdisciplinary approach to make projects more biodiverse. Specifically, it encourages professionals to adapt to and achieve biodiversity positive design in urban areas via nature-based solutions (NBS).
