The City of the Future and Sustainable land Management
Growing urbanisation, the environmental implications in terms of loss of ecosystem services, and the problems of resilience that arise from extreme natural events urgently require the identification of feasible solutions for determining the sustainability of land transformations. Urban and land regeneration, the enhancement of cultural heritage and the landscape, sustainable mobility, and the management of services are just some of the challenges facing contemporary society. A regeneration that, in line with the guidelines of the European Union, is based on strategies and actions that aim to increase the social inclusion of the most fragile populations, reducing material and intangible inequalities and placing local communities at the center, through interventions on the existing building stock and open public spaces; minute and widespread interventions, but for this reason no less important, for their purpose of mending the man-made fabric. These challenges also require the construction of territorial governance models capable of supporting the transition of institutions and communities, integrating mitigation and adaptation objectives in plans, projects, and strategies to implement the multiscalar and intersectoral perspective of resilience and sustainability.
