Are you ready to delve into the world of Nature-Based Solutions?
NATURE-BASED SOLUTIONS
Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) are design methods and strategies for (re)designing the city based on natural processes, allowing the city to once again become part of the natural system it belongs to. As a result, a city no longer has to take measures to protect itself against natural forces, but can instead make use of them, which provides space and quality. This is urgently needed because we face many challenges: climate change, extreme rain and drought, loss of biodiversity...
FELIXX LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS & PLANNERS
Felixx Landscape Architects & Planners is an expert in the field of NBS. With our knowledge of Nature-based Solutions, we help cities adapt to climate change and become more environmentally friendly, socially and economically resilient. We design urban landscapes that provide strong ecosystem services and many additional benefits. By connecting research to implementation of NBS in projects, we build natural environments in various places in the Netherlands and abroad.
