Abstract:https://jpi-urbaneurope.eu/project/ifwen/). Innovations in the use of green and blue infrastructure in cities can improve the trade-offs between water, food and energy (FWE), the main idea behind the FWE Nexus (FWEN). The IFWEN is a transdisciplinary research project that studied cities in Asia, Africa and Latin America to develop a framework to assess innovation in FWEN using Green and Blue Infrastructure (GBI) at the urban level.
