Tenth International Conference on The Constructed Environment

Abstract

The uncontrolled growth of cities, with the consequent settlement, infrastructural and productive phenomena, have caused profound alterations to the dynamics that characterize the relationship between natural and built environment. Alterations that also alter the ecological structure of the territory and intensely transform natural and semi-natural spaces that are often isolated fragments, poorly connected and strongly compromised in their ecological functions. In order to give a further impulse to the eco-sustainability of the transformations, the interventions for the requalification of the territory should therefore share a multiscale logic and protect the environmental quality of urban ecosystems through the networking of habitats and, more generally, of areas with a high level of naturalness. The reflections that are proposed, taking inspiration from specific contributions matured in the field of research and project experimentation, aim to highlight from a methodological point of view, on the one hand, the potential of the ecological network as a tool to create a system of spaces, even on an urban scale, “at the service of biodiversity”, on the other hand, the aspects related to the construction of a network of urban open spaces, characterized by different levels of usability / usability / naturalness. The main objective of the scientific work is, therefore, to define technological strategies nature based that allow to obtain open interconnected areas for the conservation of natural resources and the preservation of environmental and landscape values for an overall enhancement of the territory.
