Place, nature and partnerships for resilient infrastructure

Landscape and nature-based solutions are essential foundations for building resilient infrastructure. By embracing the natural terrain, ecosystems, and green infrastructure, cities can better withstand climate risks while enhancing livability. Partnerships between public, private, and community stakeholders ensure inclusive planning and long-term stewardship of these spaces. When place-led strategies are integrated into infrastructure development, they create adaptive environments that regenerate ecosystems, connect people to nature, and strengthen community resilience across urban and rural landscapes.
