Processes Webinar | Nature-Based Solutions for Sustainable Cities and Communities: From Concept to Measurable Environmental Impact, 29 May 2026
MDPI is pleased to announce the 24th Processes webinar, entitled “Nature-Based Solutions for Sustainable Cities and Communities: From Concept to Measurable Environmental Impact”. This webinar welcomes researchers, practitioners, and professionals interested in sustainable urban development, environmental remediation, and nature-based strategies for improving environmental resilience and community well-being.
As environmental pressures continue to intensify, including soil degradation, contamination, and increasing stress on water resources, there is a growing need for sustainable approaches that work in harmony with natural processes. This webinar will explore how nature-based solutions can support urban resilience, enhance environmental quality, and contribute to sustainable city and community development through low-impact and resource-efficient technologies.
Participants will gain valuable insights into the design, implementation, and evaluation of nature-based solutions, as well as the long-term environmental and societal impacts of these innovative strategies.
Keywords: nature-based solutions; ecosystem-based approaches; low-impact technologies; urban resilience; sustainable cities; sustainable environmental management
