The City Performance Monitor (CPM) is one of a suite of powerful tools to support nature-based solution (NBS) co-creation, co-implementation and co-management. Grounded in the theory of adaptive management, CPM enables stakeholder involvement independent of time and place, ensuring active online stakeholder participation in bottom-up innovation process and decision-making. In addition, the CPM enables science-based decision-making though the use of an effective common key performance indicator framework and the capability to easily observe measurements from the sensor devices installed at NBS sites. The CPM allows all stakeholders to review monitoring data to supplement crowdsourced problem identification and validate identified issues with measured data. After NBS implementation, the CPM can be used to monitor the outcomes of the intervention and determine whether the implemented NBS has effectively addressed the identified issues. The CPM enables NBS performance and impact assessment and supports data-driven decision making regarding the need for NBS modification or maintenance through the provision of real time measures and comparison with associated indicators.
