abstract = "Evaluating the impact of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) via appropriate indicators and metrics has
attracted, in the past few years, significant interest. In response to this, the European Commission has
recently published a handbook that aims to serve as a guide towards the evaluation of NBS impacts (EC,
2021) based on current available knowledge and state-of-art technologies and practices. The evaluation
process, which involves the development and estimation of pertinent metrics, is crucial across the different
NBS implementation stages, i.e., from the selection and design of effective NBS interventions to the NBS
efficiency evaluation and potential improvement of the deployed systems. Within this context and as part
of the work that was carried out for the euPOLIS project, an integrated indicator-based methodological
framework is proposed herein for assessing the multi-dimensional aspects and impacts associated with
the implementation of NBS in urban environments. The proposed framework employs different types of
indicators with distinct functions and purposes and aims at providing structured guidance to practitioners
and urban planners throughout all the different NBS analysis, deployment, and evaluation stages.",
