Highlights
• Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) provide valuable approaches for improving urban resilience and sustainability.
• Barriers to implementation of NBS include knowledge gaps between science and policy.
• Citizens and urban leaders should build upon the experiences that NBS improve quality-of-life.
• Rewilding needs to be an integral part of improving urban resilience.
• Metrics are essential for monitoring the short and long-term benefits of NBS and rewilding.
• Implementation should be supported by global urban partnerships.
