Green new Welfare per Città sostenibili: Linee Guida, Best Practices, Azioni d'intervento I Green new Welfare for Sustainable Cities: Guidelines, Best Practices, Actions

Several analyses and reports in the world of Sustainable Design are pointing in the direction of what is known as a ‘Green City Approach’: an integrated, multi-sectorial approach to the planning and implementation of improvements that aim to raise the quality and effectiveness of urban Welfare in the ‘Green’ direction, and to increase levels of well-being, social inclusion and longlasting development in cities, based on the now decisive aspects of the high environmental quality, efficiency and circularity of resources and on climate change mitigation and adaptation. In Italy, this new approach has been supported by significant contributions. The PRIN Research (Project of Relevant National Interest) “Adaptive Design and Technological Innovations for the Resilient Regeneration of Urban Districts in System of Climate Change” funded by the Italian Ministry of Scientific Research, in which the Rome Operative Unit is coordinated by F. Tucci, has developed these themes for three years (2016-2019). In addition, and in coordination with PRIN Research developments, in early 2017 the “La Città Futura” Manifesto, presented by lecturers from a dozen universities in the world, was launched as part of the initiatives of the States General of the Green Economy, and over the two past years the development of this new approach has been boosted by the international Green City Network coordinated by F. Tucci and promoted by the Sustainable Development Foundation (2017-2019). The basic aim was to launch a debate - with a close confrontation with the international design experimentation scenario – and to elaborate guidelines fostering future developments as regards the relationship between the main principles that lie at the heart of the Green new Welfare, the green economy and sustainable design, the architectural and urban growth, the regeneration and deep renovation; thus attempting to bring all the cities closer to the development approach of many cities in the world that have already achieved significant results as regards ‘green’ growth and redevelopment.
