This concluding chapter outlines key research paradigms that influence the way we understand the benefits of nature and how new directions of integrated approaches – multi-disciplinary and multi-scalar – can innovate regenerative design and policy. The renewed attention to the benefits of green blue infrastructure for both human and climate health was pointed out by all the contributions during the study day. This came because of the growing awareness, in the post-COVID-19 era, of the role that nature plays in human health and well-being, coupled with emerging social economic issues and environmental degradation, especially in the urban built environment. In the first part, the authors point out how biophilic design theory sits in this field, facing sustainability challenges, and how it can be and has been applied at different scales in the urban built environment, mainly referring to the architectural scale. In the second part, the authors pay attention to the role of green systems in the reconfiguration of urban morphology for the aesthetic quality of cities, with reference to the urban fabrics scale. In the last part, the authors highlight how green networks can contribute to the strengthening of safe and inclusive social interactions, as well as eco-friendly lifestyles, with reference to the urban and territorial scale, underlining, in this way, the transversal character of the approach identified in the context of the reflections carried out in the book, which also includes disciplinary contributions traditionally sectoral, and pursuing the objective of innovating the archetypal concept of ‘garden’, identifying the city as an Open Laboratory.
