How Much Nature Do We Need in our Cities? Turning Data Into Urban Greening Action

How can cities determine how much green infrastructure is enough—and where it’s needed most? And how can they meet the ambitious targets of the EU Nature Restoration Law? This interactive workshop introduces a new methodology developed by the Urban Agenda for the EU Partnership on Greening Cities, under the ESPON-GILL project, to help cities quantify local demand for green infrastructure. Participants will explore insights from European case studies and test practical tools that support data-informed Urban Nature Plans, funding proposals, and local climate action. Join us to co-design the next generation of resilient, evidence-based urban greening and ecosystem restoration strategies.
