Nature-Based Solutions for Mitigating Urban Heat Island: Opportunities for Implementation in Zwolle, the Netherlands
Abstract
Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) offer sustainable and effective strategies for mitigating Urban Heat Island (UHI) effects. This study evaluates the suitability of various NBS in addressing UHI in Zwolle and explores their implementation potential. Through GIS-based spatial analysis and stakeholder engagement, we assess green roofs, urban forests, and water-based cooling solutions. The study identifies key factors influencing NBS selection, including spatial feasibility, cost-effectiveness, and ecological benefits. The findings provide a decision-support framework for policymakers to integrate NBS into urban planning to enhance climate resilience.
