The funding has resulted in a project called Nature Smart Cities across the 2 Seas (NSCiti2S), which brings together partners from the UK, Belgium, the Netherlands and France to co-create a business model/case for local authorities to use in order to justify expenditure on green infrastructure (GI) in the absence of grants. More information can be found about the project on the following link: www.naturesmartcities.eu A first draft of the NSCiti2S Business Model and an accompanying Guidance Manual will be available in June 2021.
