Abstract	In an increasingly urbanised world, local governments and international institutions strive to increase the productivity and efficiency of cities, recognised as economic growth hubs and ensuring a better quality of life and living conditions for citizens The scope of this research paper is to examine a city case study in Chania, Crete, Greece and to present the potential of Nature-based Solutions enriched with digital techniques (IoT, Mixed Reality, ICT) integrated into a future city. The city use case adopts an innovative cross-sectoral approach by combining urban digital transformation and nature-based actions. The city of Chania implements innovative solutions consistent with increasing citizens' awareness, respect for public spaces and integrating green spaces into everyday life. Developing a healthy green mindset for citizens and improving economic opportunities through green-digital strategies drives the implementation of additional actions, towards becoming a more sustainable, equitable, and liveable city. © 2022 University of Split, FESB.
