Abstract
On a global scale, urban areas struggle with various environmental, social, and economic problems due to rapidly growing populations and rapid urbanization processes. In this context, nature-based solutions (NbS) offer an important perspective for the sustainability and livability of urban areas alongside traditional infrastructure systems. This study aims to investigate how NbS can address environmental issues in urban areas, tackle various urban challenges using a multi-perspective approach, and examine the potential and applicability of NbS approaches in solving problems in urban areas. With emphasizing the importance of NbS and an ecological perspective in solving problems in urban areas and presenting recommendations and challenges that can be applied in urban planning and management processes, the current study also encourages the adoption of nature-compatible approaches to contribute to the sustainability of urban areas and ensure a livable environment for future generations.
