Measuring the Benefits of Urban Greening and Re-Naturing
Authors: Katarzyna Solarek-Pančić, Justyna Pawlak, Agnieszka Leszczyńsk
How do you prove that greening a neighbourhood works? How do you make the case for investing in nature when decision-makers want numbers, not just principles?
The ReGreeneration Handbook is our answer to those questions. Developed by Arup through the Horizon Europe ReGreeneration project, this resource consolidates two years of hands-on learning from nine European cities — Alverca, Barcelona, Bucharest, Ghent, Lappeenranta, Ljubljana, Paris, Rome and Segrate — into a practical, replicable methodology for measuring the impact of urban greening interventions.
