Nature-based Regeneration through Water: Integrating the water cycle in urban renaturalization

We’re pleased to announce that our latest research, conducted under the supervision and initiative of Dionysis Latinopoulos from the CIMWRM, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTh), as part of the NatUR-W Project, has been published in Land (MDPI)!

The open-access article, “Transforming Public Space with Nature-Based Solutions: Lessons from Participatory Regeneration in Lorca, Spain,” explores how participatory governance and co-design can foster more resilient, inclusive, and sustainable urban regeneration.

Drawing from the Barrios Altos district in Lorca (Spain), the paper highlights how the NatUR-W project, funded by the European Urban Initiative (EUI), demonstrates the potential of Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) to integrate communities, enhance public spaces, and strengthen urban resilience.

Congratulations to Mr. Dionysios Latinopoulos, to his co-authors Sara Pelaez-Sanchez, Patricia Briega Martos, Enrique Berruezo, and Pablo Outón, and to all project partners who contributed to this inspiring collaboration!
