Peer-to-peer exchange is a powerful tool for accelerating the adoption of sustainable planning practices. By connecting with cities that have successfully implemented nature-based solutions (NbS), you can gain valuable insights, avoid common pitfalls, and accelerate your own progress.

The Cities Panel provides a unique platform for cities to share experiences, learn from one another, and collaborate on innovative solutions. Through our ISO-based Integrated Management System, we facilitate structured knowledge exchange and support cities in implementing NbS initiatives.

Join the Cities Panel today and discover how you can leverage the power of peer-to-peer learning to create a more sustainable future.

Our local kick-off and fieldtrip campaign aim to raise awareness of environmental challenges, introduce the concept of NbS, and bring together key stakeholders (local government officials, community leaders, businesses, NGOs) to drive transformative change.

Fieldtrips offer a unique opportunity to experience firsthand the environmental issues facing your community. By connecting with nature and understanding the social and economic impacts of these challenges, you can develop a deeper appreciation for NbS and their potential to create a more sustainable future.

These revisions aim to make the text more engaging, concise, and effective in conveying the benefits of the local kick-off and fieldtrip campaign.

Many technicians, landscapers, and engineers are eager to incorporate nature-based solutions (NbS) into their projects, but lack the essential technical skills. That's where our online webinars come in.

Our training focuses on the practical application of NbS design principles, providing hands-on exercises and case studies to help you master the latest techniques. Learn how to design and implement soft green & blue infrastructure, such as bioswales, bioretention systems, green walls, and wet ponds, that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Sign up today and gain the knowledge and skills you need to create sustainable and resilient urban environments.
