Cities that Truly Value Human and Natural Flourishing

What are some of the implications of urban development based on creating the behavioural context for improved quality of life and natural systems? Examples at the city scale and examples at the level of building esthetics. A look at the CLEVER CIties project and other examples that consider community-led processes and the application of Nature-Based Solutions.
