Worsening climate change impacts, particularly in coastal areas, are forcing urban planners and designers to find new approaches to govern cities. Traditional government approaches are failing to equip cities with effective strategies on how to implement sustainable interventions such as green and blue infrastructure. Adaptive governance has emerged as a way of dealing with the inherent uncertainty and unpredictability of complex social-ecological systems. It is neither top-down nor bottom-up but involves innovative ways of solving problems with emphasis on collaborative decision-making. This research focuses specifically on how collaboration is undertaken in adaptive governance processes by examining The Soul of Nørrebro case study—an integrated urban design and climate adaptation project for Hans Tavsens Park and Korsgade in Copenhagen, Denmark. Through desk study and interviews, the study identifies which stakeholders are involved in collaborative decision-making processes and how stakeholders envision, implement, and contest collaborative decision-making in The Soul of Nørrebro green and blue infrastructure project. This research found that participation from a wide range of local stakeholders and citizens is an integral part of redesigning public space, as it helps create cohesive, just, and ecologically productive environments. However, trade-offs that result in political decisions that are desirable to some and not to others cannot be avoided in the end. While certain setbacks were unavoidable, others that were encountered could have perhaps been prevented through increased transdisciplinary and representative collaboration.

Le changement d’approche de la conservation de la nature est à l’oeuvre, et se manifeste aujourd'hui à travers des politiques fondées sur le concept scientifique de réseau écologique. Celui-ci est considéré comme l’expression du « troisième temps de la conservation », en ce qu’il vient compléter les approches antérieures de la nature, centrées prioritairement sur la création d’aires protégées. Le réseau écologique doit permettre de répondre plus efficacement aux enjeux de maintien de la biodiversité : il met l’accent sur le besoin d’établir des corridors entre les habitats naturels, afin de favoriser la mobilité et le brassage des populations animales et végétales. En France, la trame verte et bleue (TVB) est un nouvel objet politique publique qui concrétise cette approche dynamique de la conservation. La thèse porte sur le processus de territorialisation de la TVB, à travers une méthode par études de cas. L’objectif central de ce travail est d’examiner les effets de la TVB sur la mise en oeuvre de l’action publique, en considérant celle-ci comme un vecteur potentiel de changement des politiques de protection de la nature et/ou des politiques d’aménagement. Ces politiques sont respectivement étudiées aux échelles régionale et locale. / The change of approach in the conservation of nature is at work, embodied today by policies based on the scientific concept of ecological network. This concept is the expression of the "third step of conservation", complementing previous approaches, mainly focused on creating protected areas. The ecological network should provide better responses to the challenges of maintaining biodiversity: it emphasizes the need to set up bridges between natural environments, to stimulate mobility and mixing of plant and animal populations. In France, the green and blue infrastructure (TVB) is a new public policy entity, which materializes this dynamic approach to conservation. The thesis covers the process of territorialization of TVB, using a case study based methodology. The core of this work is to assess the effects of TVB on public policies, considering it a potential game changer in nature conservation policies and/or land-planning policies. These policies are studied at both regional and local scales.

Notwithstanding the environmental degradation that affects their watercourses, cities are also suffering the impacts of another relevant process that deteriorates the environmental quality, climate change. To face climate change, in addition to mitigation measures, it is imperative to adopt adaptation measures. Green and blue infrastructure are solutions that reconcile engineering, plant restoration and water quality maintenance, which add ecosystem services to the revitalization of urban drainage, and may include ecosystem-based adaptation measures. In this context, the general objective of the research is the revitalization of urban streams in the promotion of measures to adapt to climate change based on ecosystems (EbA), from the case of the Sape stream. With this, we add the specific objectives in order to characterize the activities of the revitalization process of Sapé stream as a green and blue infrastructure; To identify the ecosystem services associated with the revitalization process of Sapé stream; To analyze the ecosystem services associated with the urban and environmental improvements promoted in the revitalization process in relation to measures of EbA and to evaluate if the EBAs meet the recommended in the Adaptation Plan to climate change in the Ministry of the Environment (MMA). This research has a qualitative and exploratory purpose. The sources of evidence for the accomplishment of the case study refer to: bibliographic research, documentary research, field data collection and semi-structured interviews. The results were obtained through documental, bibliographic analysis and interviews analyzed by the software IRAMUTEQ, after a comparison of the literature with the EbA found in the place. Finally, it is concluded that the recognition that urban drainage revitalization programs lead to EbA measures can contribute to a more in-depth discussion of the scope of public programs that aim to reverse the current degradation of urban rivers. / A revitalização dos rios e córregos urbanos assume um papel relevante na busca pela sustentabilidade ambiental nas cidades. Não obstante o quadro de degradação ambiental que afeta seus cursos d´água, as cidades também vêm sofrendo os impactos de outro relevante processo que deteriora a qualidade ambiental, as mudanças climáticas. Para enfrentar as mudanças climáticas, além das medidas de mitigação, se faz premente a adoção de medidas de adaptação. Infraestrutura azul revelam-se soluções que conciliam medidas de engenharia, de recomposição vegetal e de manutenção da qualidade de água, que agregam serviços ecossistêmicos na revitalização de drenagens urbanas e podem abranger medidas de adaptação baseada em ecossistemas. Nesse contexto, insere-se o objetivo geral da pesquisa que consiste na revitalização de córregos urbanos quanto à promoção de medidas de adaptação a mudanças climáticas baseada em ecossistemas (AbE), a partir do caso do córrego do Sapé. Com isso soma-se os objetivos específicos a fim de caracterizar as atividades do processo de revitalização do córrego do Sapé enquanto infraestrutura verde e azul; identificar os serviços ecossistêmicos associados ao processo de revitalização do córrego do Sapé; analisar os serviços ecossistêmicos associados as melhorias urbanas e ambientais promovidas no processo de revitalização quanto a medidas de AbE e avaliar se as eventuais AbE atendem o preconizado no Plano de Adaptação à mudança do clima no Ministério do Meio Ambiente (MMA). Esta pesquisa tem caráter qualitativa e de objetivo exploratório. As fontes de evidências para consecução do estudo de caso referem-se a: pesquisa bibliográfica, pesquisa documental, levantamento de dados de campo e entrevistas semiestruturadas. Os resultados foram obtidos por meio da análise documental, bibliográfica e entrevistas analisadas pelo software IRAMUTEQ, após foi feito uma comparação da literatura com as AbE encontrada no local. Por fim conclui-se que o reconhecimento de que programas de revitalização de drenagens urbanas ensejam medidas de AbE permite contribuir para uma discussão mais aprofundada do alcance dos programas públicos que visam reverter o quadro de degradação atual dos rios urbanos.

Study of revitalisation of an east side of trade fair area in Brno is focused on incorporating area to the city structure, this requires to make the area accessible. Attention is payed to movement of physical bareer, designing different form of boundary line between the city and the Trade fair area, densification of new city structure, public space, solution of transport situation and sustainable strategies applied to the area.
