Looking for cooperation partners: Mental models in maintenance of urban blue-green spaces

We are a consortium led by the Institute Urban Landscape at the Zürich University of Applied Science (Switzerland, Main Applicant) and Utrecht University (Netherlands).

We are looking for cities interested in working with us on using a mental models based approach to inform maintenance policy for urban blue-green spaces.

We want to test if we can design integrated maintenance policy for urban blue-green spaces that jointly considers biodiversity, safety, accessibility and citizen well-being, by combining evidence synthesis with knowledge from mental models of local citizens and experts.

Get in touch if you want to work with us on this for your city. We very much are interested in cooperating with cities from countries beyond the Netherlands or Switzerland, especially from countries where municipalities are eligible for being co-applicants / being funded.
