The PLANES team actively participated in the fourth ESP conference in Heraklion (Crete) from 10th to 14th October. It was a week full of meetings and discussions and an excellent opportunity to reflect on how ecosystem services science and practice need to actively work with and within individuals and communities who depend on nature for their well-being.
Presentations
Alessia Chelli: “Including the spatial and temporal dimension in the economic assessment of Nature-based Soultions: preliminary insights from the literature” (Session T13a).
Erica Bruno: ” Assess the ecosystem condition of vacant lots for enhancing ES provision of green infrastructure: the case study of Northern Miland intermunicipal area” (Session T17a).
Francesco Sica: “Reviewing condition indicators for urban ecosystem accounting” (Session T17a).
Jarumi Kato Huerta: “Environmental Justice and Ecosystem Services: where we come from, where we are, and where we are going” (Session T20a)
Maria Susana Orta Ortiz: “Simulating nature-based solutions and assessing cumulative impacts at the city scale: a case study in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain” (Session B10).

I conduct research on the economic evaluation of nature-based investments, and the use of multi-criteria decision-making methods, econometric models for supporting decisions by public-private stakeholders in the sustainable urban planning of the cities. Formerly intern at the Forestry Policy and Division of the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), visiting scholar at SUNY College in Syracuse (USA), expert for the European Commission.
My main research interest is the evaluation of ecosystem services supplied by Nature-based Solutions in cities and its support to spatial planning. More specifically, with the research grant I’ve been assigned I’m conducting a detailed analysis of the benefits provided by community gardens in the city of Trento.
Based on a legal geography approach, I conduct research on the impact of planning regulations on urban development, transfer of development rights, and preservation of natural urban areas along with research on governance and approaches to public participation in planning. Formerly post-doc researcher at TU Delft and planning consultant for local planning authorities.
I research the relations among Nature-Based Solutions (NBS), Ecosystem Services, and Urban Sustainability. Specifically, I study environmental and economic assessments of NBS making use of a systems dynamics approach. I hold academic degrees in Environmental Sciences, Architecture/Urbanism, and Landscape Ecology. In the past, I worked for a planning consultancy in the UK.
I research the link between nature-based solutions and sustainability to support the spatial planning of sustainable cities. I worked as a research fellow at the University of Trento, Italy, mapping and assessing the ecosystem services provided by the urban green infrastructure of the city of Havana, Cuba. I hold a Master of Science in Architecture and Construction Engineering from the University of Trento, Italy.
My research interests include sustainable urban and landscape development, especially regarding the topics of ecosystem services, urban metabolism, and circular economy. My current research activities focus on the planning of nature-based solutions in urban areas. I received my MSc in “Planning and Policies for Cities, Environment and Landscape” from the University IUAV of Venice.
His PhD research focused Spatial planning policies to integrate climate change adaptation at local level in India. Parveen is currently a post-doc researcher at the Environmental Research Institute, University College Cork
