Abstract

The present research is part of a wider qualitative study that aims to assist cities in the South Pacific developing countries with the recovery of natural areas through a green infrastructure-based approach, following a case study method. The overarching purpose of this study is to pinpoint relevant contributing elements for the successful implementation of the green infrastructure approach aiming at providing Peruvian coastal cities with novel sustainable environmental policies. To foster the conservation of the natural or semi-natural ecosystems converging with the cities, the following specific objectives were set: 1) to carry out a comprehensive physical and spatial analysis of the natural areas of Chimbote and Nuevo Chimbote; 2) to review the Peruvian regulatory framework, at the national and municipal levels, as well as international standards on the conservation of natural areas; and 3) to explore a scenario featuring the disappearance of these Peruvian coastal natural spaces and its associated consequences.
