Nature-positive visions of the city have emerged as a promising strategy to make urban areas more biodiverse and liveable in the 21 st century. There are still many gaps in our understanding of the motivations and mechanisms through which grassroots urban greening practices emerge in cities – in particular in understudied social housing programmes. We examine 38 interviews conducted with residents of social housing developments in Bangkok, Thailand, to create a typology of attitudes and values that reflect how people conceptualise, implement and maintain urban nature. Our analysis further identifies five main types of behaviours that characterise how urban nature is negotiated within communities. Using the Urban Nature Futures Framework, we provide insights into how local priorities and decision-making processes can be integrated into the planning of urban nature. Building upon growing debates on climate justice, we examine how these behaviours can influence the implementation of nature-based solutions and climate adaptation projects in understudied contexts in the Global South.
