The paper contributes to the literature on urban forestry and urban sustainability by filling gaps in the knowledge on viable business, financing, and governance models for nature-based solutions. Through two case studies, we provide empirical illustrations for business models based on nature-based solutions that are both viable and scalable. We confront the financial and governance challenges identified in the literature with empirical evidence that is grounded in a specific urban territory (the cities of Montreal and Brussels) and a well-identified type of nature-based solutions (the sourcing of sustainable materials from natural local ecosystems). Given the relative novelty and absence of comprehensive scientific accounts about the emergence, current state and future potential of the local wood movement, another important contribution of this paper is to characterize local wood businesses.

本文通过填补基于自然的解决方案的可行业务，融资和治理模型方面的知识空白，为有关城市林业和城市可持续性的文献做出了贡献。通过两个案例研究，我们为基于可行且可扩展的基于自然的解决方案的业务模型提供了经验性说明。我们以特定城市地区（蒙特利尔和布鲁塞尔等城市）为基础的经验证据以及一种公认的基于自然的解决方案类型（从当地自然资源中获取可持续材料）来应对文献中确定的财务和治理挑战。生态系统）。考虑到相对新颖和缺乏关于当地木材运动的出现，当前状态和未来潜力的全面科学解释，
