Publication overview
A systematic review maps how nature-based solutions contribute to provisioning, regulating and socio-cultural functions in informal settlements. It organises contributions through a social-ecological framework and identifies data and implementation gaps. The discussion centres on Nature-based solutions, Informal settlements, Ecosystem services, and Urban metabolism.
The analysis draws on Scopus search of 209 records, systematic screening of 40 studies, and social-ecological framework analysis. The geographical or conceptual scope is Informal settlements globally.
The contribution reflects the Lab’s interdisciplinary approach, combining quantitative and qualitative evidence to translate urban-metabolism research into planning, design, governance or policy. Written by Dorothy Julian Nalumu and Daniela Perrotti, it appears in or was issued by IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science (1363, 012083).
