Challanges and Opportunities Nature-Based Solutions for Urban Adaptation in the Economic Environment

In an increasingly urbanised economic environment, with more and more cities, there is a strong incentive for people to seek innovative local solutions to reduce their exposure to the risks of climate change. Accelerating urbanisation affects people in different ways, increasing exposure to the impacts of climate change. Air and surface temperatures in urban built-up areas are higher than in surrounding rural areas, leading to increasing urban heat islands. The more favourable economic environment has led people to move from rural to urban areas, and urbanisation has resulted in a mix of agricultural land, commercial and transport centres, industrial estates, industrial parks, transport hubs and coherent residential communities, housing estates, health and education facilities. The need to develop urban living space and its feasibility within a framework of sustainability requires a systemic, historical approach. In this article, we present the results of our survey in the parks of residential areas in Debrecen and the impact of contiguous green space on the microclimate. Through our computational methodology, we illustrate the influence of green space rehabilitation and innovative park developments adaptable to the urban environment on property value growth in a booming economic environment.
