Abstract

The contribution intends to propose an innovative and transdisciplinary approach to restore centrality to the landscape in the process of urban regeneration. The urban landscape, in its naturalistic-environmental dimension, is an essential part of cities: both as a physical object and from a perceptive, cultural, and social point of view. It is a continuously changing system also due to the different forms of anthropization, whose effects it sometimes suffers. The landscape system possesses a potential that has yet to be developed, especially in this phase of ecological transition affecting cities. The point of view needs to be reversed to understand what actions need to be taken to recover fragments of the (diffuse) landscape within cities, to promote activities and projects also in water edges and buffer zones by graduating the possibilities of use and protection. How many opportunities and opportunities does the landscape offer in its ‘transversal’ dimension? The essay will illustrate some virtuous examples of Italian and international case studies on the methodologies of knowledge, design, planning, restoration of the urban and rural landscape. This is the aim of our contribution: to propose new methods, at the various scales of the project (rural architecture, landscape restoration and dynamic management of its transformations, landscape as an element of architectural design, landscape planning) for the valorisation of the landscape by encouraging renaturalization and promoting forms of rewards for the sustainable use and protection of landscapes in their various articulations.
