*3.2. Urban Resilience Dimensions (Step 1)*

The resilience assessment proposal aims to evaluate the NBS contribution for urban resilience, focused on NBS for stormwater management and control. This RAF aims to support the diagnosis, decision-making, implementation, planning and management of the NBS and to identify solutions with potential to contribute to city resilience. Based on the identified *attributes* for resilience assessment and *aspects* for NBS evaluation, two dimensions are defined in the RAF.

Dimension I aims to assess the integration of NBS in the city governance and stakeholder involvement, economic sustainability and social involvement, as well as NBS contribution to the environmental resilience. The contribution of the NBS for urban resilience is assessed at the city level in this dimension.

Dimension II aims to assess the adequacy of the NBS to urban planning, the NBS functioning, regarding service management (e.g., service articulation between entities, allocation of financial and technical resources), its consequences in the surrounding area (e.g., ES improvement, flooded area, affected buildings), and the performance of the infrastructure. In this dimension, the NBS adequacy regarding urban, functional and physical components is assessed at the NBS level. Some objectives of the functional and physical components can be evaluated considering all NBS in the city or just some specific NBS.
