The Urban Ecology and Nature-Based Solutions (UENbS) module under MSc in Urban Climate and Sustainability (MUrCS), which is an International Erasmus Mundus Joint Master of Science Program, provided the students with a unique opportunity for implementing design research as a method to explore new solution models and develop guiding designs for presenting different sustainable options to create green infrastructure pilots&nbsp;in&nbsp;Mukkula shopping center area as an initiative under the PilotGreen project (LAB University of Applied Sciences 2023).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Group-based Innovative Research Design by International Students<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the UENbS module, the students got the opportunity to learn and experience the climate-related issues influencing urban development through theoretical knowledge, site visits, and practical sessions in different cities in Germany (Dresden and Berlin) and Finland (Helsinki, Tampere, Turku, and Lahti). The site visits provided insights into Nature-based Solutions (NbS), including water management and quality, soil engineering, soil and water bioengineering, vegetation use, and their contribution to climate-conscious urban and regional development. Students have benefited from the various mobility pathways available, allowing them to acquire subject-specific knowledge based on evidence, a thorough comprehension of urban climate change, and a systematic approach to addressing challenges and finding solutions for sustainable urban design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/09\/519_2023_Design-research-in-Mukkula_Pic1-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"A view to a yard surrounded by new residential apartment buildings and recently planted trees.\" class=\"wp-image-14636\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/09\/519_2023_Design-research-in-Mukkula_Pic1-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/09\/519_2023_Design-research-in-Mukkula_Pic1-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/09\/519_2023_Design-research-in-Mukkula_Pic1-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/09\/519_2023_Design-research-in-Mukkula_Pic1-570x285.jpg 570w, https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/09\/519_2023_Design-research-in-Mukkula_Pic1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Picture 1. &nbsp;MUrCS students visited a residential area in Kuninkaantammi, Helsinki, Finland, which is one of the first projects in Helsinki to incorporate green infrastructure and nature-based solutions in its design for stormwater management.

The module was highly engaging, and the students got the opportunity to learn from visiting the Mukkula site to identify the scope for different NbS interventions. Firstly, the groups identified the existing issues in the Mukkula shopping center area, including an abundance of concrete infrastructure, a lack of greenery, and inadequate recreational spaces for social interaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/09\/519_2023_Design-research-in-Mukkula_Pic2-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"A map of a shopping center containing two buildings, parking area and vegetated areas.\" class=\"wp-image-14637\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/09\/519_2023_Design-research-in-Mukkula_Pic2-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/09\/519_2023_Design-research-in-Mukkula_Pic2-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/09\/519_2023_Design-research-in-Mukkula_Pic2-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/09\/519_2023_Design-research-in-Mukkula_Pic2-570x285.jpg 570w, https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/09\/519_2023_Design-research-in-Mukkula_Pic2.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Picture 2.

Finally, inspiration from the benchmarking solutions was incorporated into the group project to propose ecological, social, economic, and cultural sustainability solutions. The proposed solutions primarily focused on innovative ideas that can be utilized during cold and warm weather, as Finland has a harsh and long-lasting winter (Picture 3). Also, it was recommended to promote local vegetation, rocks, and other elements for sustainable urban infrastructure. As the site has the potential for community interaction, active public participation in planning, design, and maintenance was also highly recommended to ensure nature-based solutions&#8217; sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/09\/519_2023_Design-research-in-Mukkula_Pic3-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"Two parallel images demonstrate a part of the shopping center area where new benches and vegetation has been added to the existing environment.
