[Translate to English:]

Urbanization is an aggressive driver of change affecting the natural environment. The restoration of natural areas is, therefore, critically important for local governments. Nature-based solutions provide a foundation for reintegrating natural cycles into urban planning, improving ecosystem service provision and locals’ well-being. The mapping methodology in the case study consolidates the use of strategic elements from the Green-Blue Network in the Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte (RMBH).
