title: 'How can we green this up?' Bottom-Up Initiatives for Identifying, Improving, and Maintaining Green Space Developments in Groningen
ispublished: unpub

abstract: In order to mitigate climate change impacts,
short-term action and societal resilience are
required for successful adaptation to drastically
changing environments (IPCC, 2022). The effect
of urban heat islands is one of the many adverse
consequences we must mitigate to sustain and
improve urban habitats. However, this issue of
socio-environmental change remains complex
and requires simultaneous action on multiple
levels of the governance spectrum (Homsy et al.,
2018). Bottom-up solutions may provide
valuable insights for improved place
understandings, resulting in enhanced green
space solutions. Two semi-structured interviews
were conducted together with secondary data
collection in order to investigate whether this
premise holds true. Resultantly, this paper
presents a spectrum of involvement and
responsibilities at different levels of action,
portraying the bottom-linked governance
approach utilised in Groningen to mitigate urban
heat island effects.
