20.500.12556/RUL-132084 Towards a cross-sectoral view of nature-based solutions for enabling circular cities A framework developed by the COST Action Circular City (an EU-funded network of 500+ scientists from 40+ countries; COST = Cooperation in Science and Technology) for addressing Urban Circularity Challenges (UCCs) with nature-based solutions (NBSs) was analyzed by various urban sectors which refer to different fields of activities for circular management of resources in cities (i.e., reducing use of resources and production of waste). The urban sectors comprise the built environment, urban water management, resource recovery, and urban farming. We present main findings from sector analyses, discuss different sector perspectives, and show ways to overcome these differences. The results reveal the potential of NBSs to address multiple sectors, as well as multiple UCCs. While water has been identified as a key element when using NBSs in the urban environment, most NBSs are interconnected and also present secondary benefits for other resources. Using representative examples, we discuss how a holistic and systemic approach could facilitate the circular use of resources in cities. Currently, there is often a disciplinary focus on one resource when applying NBSs. The full potential of NBSs to address multifunctionality is, thus, usually not fully accounted for. On the basis of our results, we conclude that experts from various disciplines can engage in a cross-sectoral exchange and identify the full potential of NBSs to recover resources in circular cities and provide secondary benefits to improve the livelihood for locals. This is an important first step toward the full multifunctionality potential enabling of NBSs. circularity challenges multifunctionality interdisciplinarity nature-based solutions urban sectors sustainable urban development ecosystem-based management izzivi krožnosti večnamenskost interdisciplinarnost naravne rešitve mestni sektorji trajnostni razvoj mest ekosistemsko upravljanje true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2021-10-12 09:10:48 2021-10-12 09:10:51 2022-09-12 04:10:57 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2021 0 0 19 str. iss. 17, art. 2352 Vol. 13 2021 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 502.131.1:711.41 2073-4441 10.3390/w13172352 80079875 water-13-02352-v3.pdf water-13-02352-v3.pdf 1 19982AE6D9035719032782E19CBF1871 8b00051a4d3bb090d656810d022d9224ef108671af59048bfded50928d1db257 b3fff4dd-bfd1-11ec-8aca-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=155717 https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4441/13/17/2352 1 8a0512bb-2b2b-11ec-abdb-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=149598 Zdravstvena fakulteta Fakulteta za gradbeništvo in geodezijo 0 0 0
