abstract: This research is about the planning of new water and nature in the city. Nature is important in cities for health, liveability and resilience.  The focus is on ecosystem services (ES): the benefits of nature for people. The aim is to find out how the use of ES can help future nature and water projects in Dutch cities.  Two case studies of new planned water in cities have been researched in order to find out what the drivers are to realise new nature and how ES can help these projects to get attention and support. Next to that, it is discussed and investigated what the role of economic valuation of nature is in the planning of new natural projects.  The outcomes are that a good story is crucial for the realisation of new nature projects. Economic value can help to stress the importance of more nature in cities.
