Nuove forme di natura per gli spazi urbani

From distance learning, we have learned how important the relationship with the places and landscapes to be analyzed is, in order to refine the ability to understand the peculiar, specific characters, from which we can set up significant transformations, moving on different dimensions with an open attitude (Corajoud, 2000; Steinitz, 2012). The conscious need for quality daily green spaces is also increasingly evident: it is more and more important to be able to offer new, more welcoming urban spaces, greener everyday landscapes, in which to find well-being and a healthier lifestyle (Brown and Jennings, 2003). This is an occasion to focus on the role of landscape architecture to face climate change and emergencies, by the strengthening of protective/ adaptative urban strategies. The city of the future must be equipped with welcoming public spaces, capable to offer multiple eco-systemic services, from environmental comfort to contact with nature (Ulrich and Simons, 1991). In these spaces, plants can play a leading role, from the ability to shade, absorb rainwater and reduce pollution. The design will be addressed to accessibility, hospitality, up to beauty (Meyer, 2008) and wealth by social-cultural, didactic and therapeutic contents.
