The model was already developed and tested in some parts of the world with unique conditions, but there is a lack of research in the South African context. So, can I adopt a similar model or framework to evaluate the impact of a phenomenon using South African conditions? For example, a new paradigm emerging worldwide is called Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) in urban planning. The paradigm proposes adopting nature-based infrastructure and other nature-based solutions to address socio-economic and ecological challenges in urban areas. Several models are available in the literature, especially in EU cities, which evaluate the impact of these solutions, but there is a lack of research in South Africa regarding the applicability and scalability of the solutions. So, my question is whether one can adapt existing models from the EU for example to evaluate the applicability here?
