NATURE-BASED SOLUTION E DESIGN BIOFILICO. Approcci eco-sistemici alla rigenerazione

From the perspective of ecological transition, environmental design has assumed a central role in political strategies and design thinking on urban regeneration and energy and technological upgrading. The improvement of the environmental performance of cities and buildings tends toward two major results: higher quality of life and places according to socio-economic and aesthetic-cultural criteria; a balanced relationship between the built environment and the natural environment, with the related energy and ecosystem benefits. The contribution reflects the trans-scalar character of environmental regeneration and redevelopment processes in the broad spectrum of solutions suggested by the biophilic approach. Nature-based solutions are discussed as a means to pursue the improvement of the physical, social and environmental quality of the urban and built environment.
