Living Lab on Urban NAture-based solutions in Montpellier

Living Lab on Nature-based Solutions in the Montpellier Urban Area

LLUNAM is a multi-stakeholder action-research initiative that combines researchers and societal actors (local governments, associations, businesses, resident groups, etc.) to jointly investigate, design, test, and evaluate Nature-based Solutions (NbS) in the Montpellier metropolitan area, ranging from the city center to suburban and agricultural zones.

Our mission is to link together the various stakeholders and assist them in working together to develop their projects for the research, design, testing, and evaluation of NbS.
