The distributable toolkit in the form of an interactive e-book was designed for Aga Khan Agency for Habitat (India). AKAH developed this
Urban Ecosystems Management Toolkit as a holistic framework to assess, monitor, and develop plans to restore urban ecosystems. This framework provides tools and solutions to rebalance the natural urban ecosystem as a pathway for long-term sustainability. The Toolkit guides practitioners through an evidence-based approach to assess hotspots in different urban contexts and develop nature-based solutions to protect and restore urban ecosystems. The toolkit can be beneficial to government officials, urban practitioners, researchers, community leaders, and agencies to prepare city profiles strategies and action plans and identify sustainable solutions for urban areas, and future proof of our settlements.

The toolkit was designed as a clickable e-book that the reader may use to navigate the various sections of the publication. The content in the e-book is cross-linked with relevant sections of the book and the layout of the spread is designed to mimic an interface that one would encounter in an application. The preview below highlights the linked parts of the pages of the e-book. The original version of the toolkit intended for public distribution can be found here.
