Tourism in cities with nature-based solutions: the users' point of view in a case study

Nature-based solutions (NBS) also offer big cities the opportunity to bring man-made areas closer to the natural environment and to find new solutions to improve the tourist attractiveness of a specific area. However, few studies exist on how young people can appreciate and experience the presence of urban and peri-urban NBS. Therefore, this research investigates the behaviour and opinions of the younger generation that may use NBS as urban tourism and in particular considers the case study of the so-called “Corona Verde” ('Green Crown') of Turin. The results can support the decisions of local stakeholders and administrators, but also contribute to the development of similar situations in other national geographical areas.
