How do we increase biodiversity in our cities?

We want to make our cities ever greener, but what is the best way? That is what Aeres University of Applied Sciences is investigating together with us, Van Hall Larenstein University of Applied Sciences and Avans University of Applied Sciences. Nature-inclusive area development is a broad concept. That is the development of urban areas in which nature is given space and building materials from nature are used. With our research, we test the user experience of biobased solutions with exploratory neuroarchitectural methods. We are also developing a governance strategy together with Aeres to better encourage nature-inclusive solutions in area development.
