Environmental recovery strategies for sustainable and resilient regeneration

The physical degradation, the indiscriminate exploitation of non-renewable resources, socio-economic marginality, environmental fragility, the increase in climate-altering emissions and polluted sites, the effects of global warming, require, today, necessarily, a paradigm shift with a view to responding to major changes and crises, and enhancing resilience to future challenges. An interscalare and multidisciplinary approach hinged on new policies, procedures and tools, involving urban planning, landscape planning, technological-environmental design, design, promoting adaptation and mitigation actions to climate change, the twin transition, the enhancement of brownfields and drosscapes, through the widespread use of innovative technologies for the environment, mobility, energy efficiency, waste recycling, human welfare and health. In this framework, the contribution, starting from the analysis of a case study, proposes a reflection on the need to implement environmental recovery strategies capable of counteracting dissipative dynamics and activating a new urban metabolism, with the aim of prefiguring new spatial configurations, economic and energy cycles, restoring with natural solutions (nature-based solutions), biodiversity and the quality of environmental matrices (air, water and soil), for a sustainable and resilient regeneration.
