The green in its many variations (from the roof garden to the urban forest) has for some years captured the attention of a large public.
Looking at the urban dimension, it is certain that the green is a driving force for the regeneration of the suburbs, for the fight against climate change, thus affecting public health and the well-being of daily life. The health of man and that of the planet is not indifferent to greenery in the city as nature constitutes that natural, additional and irreplaceable filter to absorb the effects of an evolution that is in continuous and unpredictable mutation. Cities and suburbs that are increasingly gray, lifestyles out of scale and in this precise historical moment also a growing feeling of loneliness and inadequacy of the technical disciplines, make it necessary to find a new balance to live a natural order.
The purpose, always having “green” as a goal, is to go beyond the design, technical, legislative, urban planning aspect (the effects) to address the topic in a circular sense, going to its roots.
How to find that natural space inside and out to live according to nature? How to rebuild together houses, cities and a new world that is human-sized? Where to start to ensure that balance between the built and natural environment through the visible dimension of urban green?
The aim of the conference is an interdisciplinary dialogue, which, setting aside the technicalities, leads to explore, from different qualified points of view, a new dimension of greenery based on a harmonious evolution that unites the interior space and the city.
