Abstract

Nature-based Solutions (NbS), including artificial wetlands, raingar￾dens, and reforestation, provide an effective strategy for enhancing living circumstances in rapidly expanding metropolitan areas. Nonetheless, empirical evidence suggests that the decision-making processes related to projects, especially in informal settlement improvement programs, are not favourable to the NbS incorporation. This study investigates the meta-functional relationships among the principal parameters influencing the concentration of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) in multidimensional regions. The methodology begin with a thorough examination of active NbS projects in Italy. The primary component starts to identify the key variables affecting NbS concentration. The principal driving forces are associ￾ated with the sustainable performance achievable through NbS implementation, alongside the luxury effect, which pertains to a city’s productive prosperity. These factors can support a green transition plan for sustainable and equitable urban expansion by eco system approach-design and programming public actions.
