<div class="text-block nopadd">Cities are currently not deploying NbS at the scale and speed needed to ensure urban resilience in the face of increasing climate impacts and other challenges. Life PACT aims to develop and test an integrated approach that draws on the efforts of multiple stakeholders and can accelerate effective, widespread, contextually-relevant NbS implementation - what we refer to as “spreading” or “replicating”.<br><br>Over the course of the project, four key elements have emerged as critical for enabling replication and spreading:</div>
<ol role="list" class="list">
<li class="list-item-4">Digesting through systematising</li>
<li class="list-item-5">Iterative reflecting and planning</li>
<li class="list-item-6">Moving forward through learning enquiries</li>
<li class="list-item-7">Ongoing collective sense-making</li>
</ol>
<div class="text-block nopadd">These elements combine knowledge-creation and learning modes -learning-by-doing (3), reflexive learning (1 and 4) and learning-by-interacting (4)- to enable the three dimensions of scaling (scaling-up, scaling-out and scaling deep) for system change.<br><br>The following sections provide more information on each of these elements as well as resources and links to relevant material.</div>

<div class="text-block nopadd">As part of the MEL Deep Dive, Dark Matter Labs supported the city in developing a series of very simple indicators that would be easy to apply, understand and consider in decision making.<br><br>Quite often, the issue cities face when dealing with data has more to do with navigating overabundance and complexity than with a lack of information.<br><br>Cities often have a large number of complex indicators, developed by research teams or topic experts, to measure and monitor everything from urban climate, vulnerability, and mobility trends to the use of public space. While these indicators play a fundamental role in increasing the understanding of our cities through data that is rooted in robust methodologies, local authorities sometimes struggle to use the indicators consistently, beyond a specific pilot or project, and to then use what the indicator is telling them to make decisions in their day to day work.<br><br>In response, Madrid and Dark Matter Labs partnered to defined a small number of simple indicators and a supporting tool (spreadsheet) that could be tested with design teams and municipal employees, then iterated and refined.<br><br>The first version of the spreadsheet and a supporting presentation can be downloaded below.</div>
