This study gathered the views of stakeholders engaged in urban planning regarding the importance of nature-based solutions (NBS). The findings revealed that stakeholders perceive numerous social and ecological advantages associated with NBS, notably fostering cooperation within communities. This cooperation manifested at different levels, encompassing empowerment, collaborative decision-making, cooperation, consultation, and information sharing. Additionally, knowledge sharing emerged as a valuable advantage, facilitating the exchange of scientific and practical experiences related to NBS implementation, challenges, and applications among urban planners, users of urban spaces, and researchers.
