Urban Green Infrastructure for Planning Sustainable Communities: A Methodological Approach to Assess the Effects on the Territories
In the debate on defining the concepts of urban quality and sustainable and resilient urban development, urban green infrastructure plays a strategically important role. In community policies, they represent a key issue for the pursuit of decarbonization goals and, more generally, for the improvement of the quality of life in urban settings, with results on the reduction of transport-related pollutant emissions and extended benefits to the environmental quality of ecosystems. This challenge requires a reorganization of urban gray infrastructure with the subtraction of spaces dedicated to traditional mobility (lanes and parking lots) in favor of lanes dedicated to sustainable mobility and other urban functions (recreational spaces, community gardens and vegetable gardens, cycle workshops, velostations) and/or mitigation (green spaces for bio-retention and infiltration, rainwater harvesting or domestic water reuse). The paper reports an in-depth study of research focused on process innovation in planning interventions to transform the built environment. The approach is based on quantitative assessment methods and tools and aims to make the effects of certain design choices verifiable. The article presents an in-depth study on the conversion of gray infrastructure and intermediate spaces into urban green infrastructure in the municipality of Rescaldina, in the Milan metropolitan area.
