Title: Development and Technical Design of State-of-the-Art Nature-based Solutions for Five Urban Sites under Development in the EU – Supporting Ginkgo Fund
Description: The focus of this assignment will be on advising the Gingko Fund in the development of resilient neighbourhoods embedding nature nature-based solutions (NbS) and suggesting biophilic design solutions. The consultant will work alongside the Fund’s core project team on a selected set of five projects. NbS are integrated with the objective of strengthening the resilience to climate change impacts, to promote biodiversity and to maximise the quality of life of the new neighbourhoods. The practical design advice shall be based on an integrated approach that embeds NbS and where possible creates linkages with other green areas (biodiversity promoting green corridors). The team will identify and develop biophilic design options, and involve future inhabitants and citizens of the surrounding areas to ensure a design that caters to the needs of the local population where and whenever possible. The design advice will be based on in-depth climate risk and biodiversity. assessments of the sites.
