The work aims to model the effect of different Nature based solutions on the canopy urban heat island. The cities have selected Nature based solutions varying from green roof, green wall, raingardens, Miyawaki forest, agroecology community gardens, rewilded zones, climate arboretum, meadows, water gardens. The static and mobile sensors are being deployed to build a baseline and measure the effect of Nature based solutions. The demonstration sites are being Co-designed with multiple stakeholders to address the local concerns, diversity of voices to encompass perspectives and include citizens to address the longevity of Nature based solutions. The cities include Belfast, Breda, Budapest, Maribor, and Katowice. The five cities are based in different climate zones, consists of single to multiple demonstration sites, and are deploying various Nature based solutions based on the key city challenges. The UPSURGE project aims to use nature-based solutions for regenerative development in five demonstration cities. Europe Union has recommended using Nature based solutions as a solution for multiple urban issues including the mitigation of urban heat. The rise of extreme heatwave events due to climate change is causing concern for the cities effected by the urban heat island. Urbanization causes modifications in the urban climate of a city due to increase in impervious fraction and lack of evapotranspiration.
