Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) have become increasingly popular for addressing environmental and societal challenges in urban areas while providing human well-being and biodiversity benefits. A web-based application, to attain the desired optimization and evaluation of such proposed solutions, is of considerable importance. In this work, we introduce the “euPOLIS Visualization Platform”. This platform provides an innovative solution for monitoring the spatiotemporal impact of NBS on the urban environment and the well-being of citizens. The platform facilitates the ability of users to explore, comprehend, and evaluate the proposed solutions, through 2D and 3D views of the city environment, enriched with temporal data provided by the system (e.g., simulations and sensor information analysis). Deployed tools offer a dynamic interface that is adaptable to the user's requirements and possesses the ability to display a range of information, stored within a Data Management System, including measurements from meteorological and air pollution monitoring stations, and advanced analytical, numerical, and time-based data. The results of the platform's analysis will be of great value to stakeholders, such as policymakers and urban planners, interested in understanding the effectiveness of NBS interventions in promoting sustainable urban development and enhancing citizens’ quality of life. The euPOLIS Visualization Platform (eVP) aims to offer complete and easily accessible means of monitoring the effects of NBS on the urban environment and human well-being, by leveraging and combining cutting-edge technologies into one state-of-the-art platform.
