Nature-Based Cities in the Era of Climate Crisis
- Extreme climate events in Indian cities—such as intense monsoon rainfall, heat waves, air pollution, and groundwater depletion—are direct consequences of unplanned urban expansion and the destruction of ecosystems such as trees, lakes, and wetlands.
- The East Kolkata Wetlands (wastewater treatment and flood mitigation) and Sanjay Gandhi National Park, Mumbai (temperature regulation and mangrove conservation) are notable examples of nature supporting urban resilience.
- Sustainable urban development requires Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) to be treated as essential infrastructure and incorporated into municipal budgets, RERA regulations, and private development projects.
