Designing a New Vision of an “Ordered” Nature with an Ecosystemic Approach for a Healthy City

The paper proposes a reflection on the role of urban and environmental designing for promoting actions that improve the health and well-being of inhab- itants for a sustainable, safe, healthy and socially inclusive city. The methodological reflection will be based on the principles and methods of the urban master plan that orientate models towards being more health conscious and experiments for specific measures, urban projects, operational and programmatic tools as well as evaluating the effectiveness of the achieved performance. The thesis of this paper is sub- stantiated by the conviction of how an effective and ever-improving ecological urban network, that is intelligently connected to the ecological network of territory, can support an “ordering” role through connectivity. The foundations for the functioning system cannot be postponed for the urban organism’s eco-sustainable behaviour. The urban ecological network materialises as the forms and functions of an ecosystemic approach.
