Abstract

The intensification of urbanization and climate change have increased the vulnerability of cities to high temperatures, flooding, and environmental degradation. In this context, urban wetlands have emerged as nature-based solutions to integrate ecological, landscape, and social functions. This article offers a systematic analysis of the role of landscape design and urban planning in the face of climate change, specifically through urban wetlands as nature-based solutions. The study was conducted using a PRISMA review of the Scopus database (2021–2025); 12 articles were selected from the 87 records identified. The findings demonstrate significant contributions through microclimatic regulation, water management, and urban resilience, promoting the integration of wetlands into green and blue networks and participatory governance frameworks.
