“…The measures implemented included the widening of the riverbed, increasing the water levels, the addition of natural material to enhance the riverine habitat quality and biodiversity, and the reinforcement of existing flood levees with underground steel beams to preserve vegetation. The Isar Plan was jointly financed and implemented by the State of Bavaria and the City of Munich and is widely acclaimed for having successfully turned a formerly concrete and unsafe riverbank into a green/blue recreational space, which became an emblem of the city (Binder 2010;Sartori 2012;Düchs 2014). The aims of the project were threefold: flood protection, environmental restoration (both of these fulfilling the Munich Water Agency's main mandates), and creating an urban recreational space (fulfilling the City of Munich's mandate as well as the demands of local councils and Munich's inhabitants).…”

<p>This presentation explores how claims for transformative adaptation toward more equitable and sustainable societies can be assessed. We build on a theoretical framework describing transformative adaptation as it manifests across four core elements of the public-sector adaptation lifecycle: vision, planning, institutional frameworks, and interventions. For each element, we identify characteristics that can help track adaptation as transformative. Our purpose is to identify how governance systems can constrain or support transformative choices and thus enable targeted interventions. We demonstrate and test the usefulness of the framework with reference to three case studies of nature-based solutions (NBS): river restoration (Germany), forest conservation (China), and landslide risk reduction (Italy). Building on a desktop study and open-ended interviews, our analysis adds evidence to the view that transformation is not an abrupt system change, but a dynamic complex process that evolves over time. While each of the NBS cases fails to fulfill all the transformation characteristics, there are important transformative elements in their visions, planning, and interventions. There is a deficit, however, in the transformation of institutional frameworks. The cases show institutional commonalities in multi-scale and cross- sectoral (polycentric) collaboration as well as innovative processes for inclusive stakeholder engagement; yet, these arrangements are ad hoc, short-term, dependent on local champions, and lacking the permanency needed for upscaling. For the public sector, this result highlights the potential for establishing cross-competing priorities among agencies, cross-sectoral formal mechanisms, new dedicated institutions, as well as programmatic and regulatory mainstreaming.</p>

“…Between 2000 and 2011, an eight-kilometer-long river restoration project took place in the southern inner city of Munich, Germany (Figure 1). The Isar-Plan or the Isar river restoration project in Munich (Germany) is widely recognized as a model of good practice [37] and it achieved the first German award for river development ('Gewässerentwicklungspreis') in 2007. The ex-post-analysis of this concept case provides a good practice framework of a successfully implemented flood risk management plan combined with a river restoration.…”

Living Labs—A Concept for Co-Designing Nature-Based Solutions

et al. 2020

Living Labs are recognized as a progressive form to foster innovation and the strengthening of collaborative planning. The concept has received strong attention by the European Union (EU) research and innovation agendas recently. This contribution investigates how a Living Lab approach could be used for the design and implementation of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS). NBS are gaining acceptance as a more sustainable solution for reducing the exposure to natural hazards and vulnerability to events, such as increased flooding in changing climate. However, a lack of collaborative approaches hinders their broader implementation. A literature review on the theoretical aspects of the Living Labs concept in the context of NBS is conducted, and we compare the theoretical findings with practices that were observed by case studies implementing NBS in a collaborative manner. The Isar-Plan River Restoration in Munich, Germany, and the Mountain Forest Initiative (Bergwaldoffensive). Both of the case studies have already started well before the concept of Living Labs gained wider popularity. Both award-winning cases are recognized good practice for their exemplary in-depth stakeholder involvement. The paper discusses the concepts and approaches of Living Labs and reflects on how it can serve and support in-depth participatory stakeholder involvement.
