The Nature of Cities Festival (TNOC) is a knowledge-centered, knowledge-led, and action-driven event with creativity at its centre. The 2024 theme of “Action” focuses our attention on translating knowledge from various sources to results on the ground. TNOC Festival 2024 will be a three week series of interconnected events. Virtual events will take place 15 - 26 April 2024 and in-person events will take place 4-7 June 2024 in Berlin.

TNOC Festival programming is transdisciplinary and innovative. With multiple session types, the programme is designed to push the boundaries of collaborative engagement by mixing the arts, sciences, urban practice fields, and performance to draw urban thought leaders and changemakers together to build better cities.

GoGreenRoutes will host an in person session at TNOC, "Developing your GID lens - Gender, Inclusion and Diversity in action!" The session will utilise our innovative approaches to promoting just Nature-based Solutions (NbS) in urban environments. Join the session to discover how "seedbeds," early place-based interventions, using various creative techniques such as photovoice methods, strengthen community ownership and inclusivity, with a special focus on gender, inclusion, and diversity.

Join us to learn about the lessons GoGreenRoutes, which can guide other cities and researchers in applying an environmental justice lens to NbS and public health and ensuring equitable benefits for all. Together, let's tackle societal challenges while emphasizing the role of gender, inclusion, and diversity in NbS mainstreaming.
