We all want our cities to be greener, but how does this look in practice and what do we need to get there? The Creating Green Cities podcast takes you on a journey into the world of nature-based solutions and shows how they can be used to bring nature into cities for the benefit of society and the environment alike. We talk to guests from Barcelona, Budapest, Malmö and Utrecht to learn more about the implementation of these urban innovations across Europe.
The podcast has been created by the Ecologic Institute (http://ecologic.eu) as part of NATURVATION (http://naturvation.eu), an EU-funded research project focusing on urban nature-based innovation. If you want to learn even more about nature-based solutions than we touch on in the podcast, subscribe to “Urban Nature”, a free online course on nature-based solutions from NATURVATION: https://www.coursera.org/learn/urban-nature.

Green roofs make buildings cool. Literally. As cities deal with the impacts of climate change, green roofs can offer solutions and help with rainwater management, insulation and cooling, amongst other benefits. No matter the weather, installing a green roof also benefits biodiversity and can transform inaccessible, unused areas into inspiring communal green spaces in the middle of densely built urban centres.
Green roofs are one of the many “nature-based solutions” featured in the Creating Green Cities podcast. In the first episode, we talk to Logan Strenchock, Environmental and Sustainability Officer at the Central European University in Budapest, and Tanja Hasselmark Mason and Mikaela Gomez from the Swedish Green Roof Institute in Malmö about the benefits of bringing more nature to cities and potential pitfalls.
