Urban Nature for the Planning of Healthy Spaces in Contemporary Living
Green areas in contemporary living spaces are increasingly evolving from mere decorative elements or fillers of urban voids to a living and resilient heritage. Similarly, our cities can become vibrant and resilient if the safeguarding and restoration of green and blue heritage, their intrinsic characteristics, and the consequent relationships and interrelations that can be established with the urban environment, are considered as the core of a global urban development strategy. The opportunity presented by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) has led to an acceleration in the themes of biodiversity conservation and the use of greenery as a strategic element to tackle the urban consequences of climate change and enhancing the psychophysical well-being of individuals. In Europe, cities like Paris, Nice, Barcelona, and London have clearly demonstrated their commitment through plans developed around the conservation of biodiversity and the restoration of ecological networks, reinforcing the themes dictated by the European agenda with the EU strategy for biodiversity 2030. These are ambitious programs that require a multidisciplinary approach of collaboration across various fields of knowledge and a deep study on the observation of places, species, water resource availability, and safety of locations. These initial elements underpin current strategies in which green elements, manifested in multiple forms, can ensure greater climatic, health, and social well-being, in addition to being valuable allies in countering the damages resulting from climate change.
