Nature-Based Deployment Strategies for Multiple Paces of Change: The Case of Oimachi, Japan

In this article a planning approach is proposed to accommodate different paces of urbanisation. Instead responding single problem with Pavlov-type response, analysis shows that the transformational tempi urban landscapes require multiple deployment strategies develop environments are sustainable and resilient. The application nature-based solutions, enhancing both human natural health in cities, used as foundation for design respond change. results show characteristics, such population density built space is, partly, dependent on underlying landscape therefore specific development pathways. To create liveable areas can deal holistically range intertwined problems, should be each context. This benefits city-precinct whole at local scale. Even small applied right strategy context, have profound impact starting point far-reaching transformation. case-study Oimachi Japan illustrates how applied, rhythms identified, which leads.
