Imagine trying to redesign a city or farm to be greener without upsetting the people living there. This work creates a digital toolkit and a set of guidelines to help planners predict how land changes affect nature and people. It's like a GPS for urban planning that considers both the environment and human behavior.
Planners struggle to balance climate goals and biodiversity laws with the actual behavior and needs of citizens, often leading to failed land-use policies.
A toolkit for land use planners featuring a planning dashboard, simulation tools, and a set of 11 virtual gallery presentations for citizen engagement.
If you are a municipal planning consultancy dealing with conflicting interests between developers and environmentalists — this project developed a planning dashboard and simulation tools that help align land use with biodiversity and climate goals.
If you are a large-scale land management firm dealing with strict new nature restoration laws — this project developed a toolkit with recommendations for structural and procedural changes to meet sustainability targets.
If you are a sustainability auditing firm dealing with unpredictable human reactions to green policies — this project developed randomized controlled trials of behavior change to ensure land strategies actually work in practice.
Based on available project data, there is no pricing information provided as the project is EU-funded research.
The project is tested across 12 in-depth practice cases and a broad scale multiplier cluster, suggesting it is designed for multi-scale application across Europe.
Based on available project data, the IP and licensing terms are not specified; the project involves a consortium of 23 partners.
The tools are designed to help meet the goals of the European Green Deal, 2021 Adaptation Strategy, and the Nature Restoration Law.
The project period runs until 2027-05-31, which is when the final results are expected.
The consortium is highly diversified with 23 partners from 14 countries. While it is research-heavy (5 universities and 5 research institutes), it includes 9 practice partners from regional planning and land management authorities and 3 SMEs, ensuring that the tools are grounded in real-world administrative needs rather than just academic theory.
