Abstract
This article explores the conceptualisation and applicability of nature-based solutions (NBS) in the semi-arid context of Amman, Jordan. Through a Delphi survey, interviews and literature review, it investigates local experts’ views, concluding that NBS are a viable approach, even in context of water scarcity and high urban temperatures. Our results advocate for a paradigm shift towards a balanced relationship between urbanisation and nature, the integration of nature-based thinking into educational systems and continuous development and training for planners and local officers. Cross-sector collaboration, a solid participatory frame work, and financial mechanisms for pilot cases are essential for this transformative shift.
