摘要

In this chapter, we will discuss Ecosystem Services (ESS) and how its conceptual framework has evolved during the ROBUST project to shed light on its usefulness in understanding and strengthening rural-urban synergies. Methodologically, this reflection builds on a combined review of relevant literature and cases explored within the project’s Living Labs. The primary aim is to report on the process of advancing towards a theoretical conceptualization of ESS with respect to rural-urban synergies, as illustrated in the ESS multi-loop framework. This framework aims to display multiple levels of conceptualization of rural-urban synergies beyond the ROBUST project, emphasising the pivotal role of planning and governing ESS.
