Doubting yourself is natural, but don't let it hold you back. 🌍💧 Everyone questions their abilities sometimes, but remember: urban resilience is achievable with the right strategies. Sponge City principles can transform our cities to better handle climate impacts by integrating green spaces and permeable surfaces. 🌱🌆 Share your thoughts or join our green revolution! #UrbanResilience #SpongeCity #Sustainability #breathablesand #DakeRechsand

𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐞 𝐚 𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐞-𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐮𝐫𝐛𝐚𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞? From 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐟𝐬 to 𝐮𝐫𝐛𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐞𝐭𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬, integrating natural systems is transforming cities into sustainable, adaptable communities. Take Copenhagen, for example — where parks don’t just provide greenery but also double as flood management systems, storing excess water during heavy rains. This is just one way 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞-𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 (𝐍𝐁𝐒) ) are helping cities not only adapt but thrive in the face of climate change. At 𝐀𝐄𝐂𝐎𝐌, we’ve worked with cities worldwide to implement 𝐍𝐁𝐒, enhancing resilience and building greener, more adaptive urban environments. 💡 Curious to learn more about how 𝐍𝐁𝐒 can shape the future of your city?

Oceans and cities can feel like worlds apart, but cities impact oceans in many significant ways. This #WorldOceansDay, we're highlighting the crucial link between our oceans and our cities 🌊🏙️ Marine and coastal ecosystems are the largest carbon sink in the world and a vital source of livelihood, employment, nutrition and economic growth in cities and islands. Yet, our cities are a main source of pollution for our coastal areas such as in the discharge of wastewater and sewage. Dr Timothy Beatley, an internationally recognized sustainable city researcher and author, highlights the importance of repairing the relationship between our cities and oceans. Known as 'Blue Urbanism', this concept emphasizes the integration of urban development with the health and sustainability of our oceans. It recognizes the critical relationship between cities and marine environments, advocating for urban planning and policies that support ocean conservation.
