GREEN, GREENING, GREENWASHING

Markus Hedorfer, Alessandro Calzavara, ASSURB – National Association of Town, Spatial and Environmental Planners


Within the actions of governance, the interest in environmental issues (and more specifically to aspects related to sustainability and resilience of settlements and territorial transformations) has increased significantly in recent decades. It has grown enough to incorporate specific evaluation processes, such as SEA, Vinca (Natura 2000 sites assessment, NIS in Ireland or HRA in the UK), AIA (authorisations mainly referred to IPPC), etc., that strongly influence / guide the authorisation process.

In the proposed session, the aim is to compare the different possible approaches to this…

THE ROLE OF TERRITORIAL FOUNDATIONS IN CLIMATE TRANSITION PROCESSES

Filippo Magni, Giovanni Litt, Iuav University of Venice


For the near future, climate change will have increasingly negative spatial effects, contributing to the deterioration of the condition and functionality of human and natural systems. There is an urgent need for a change in spatial planning approaches in order to build a true national transition based on climate resilience and climate neutrality approaches.

However, due to a lack of specific design skills, technical knowledge and human resources, many territories find it difficult to build local processes that can really contribute to climate transition.
In order to solve these issues, the role of private…

POST-UNLOCK

Grazia Brunetta, Carolina Giaimo, Patrizia Lombardi, Angioletta Voghera, Dist/Politecnico di Torino


POST-UNLOCK is a research project of Dist/PoliTo (Miur Department of Excellence 2018-2022) that aims to implement the “post carbon city” model through an ideal-typical scenario of territorial innovation at 2030. The project starts from the management of the post-emergency phase of Covid-19 and aims to overcome the engineering approach to risk. This is possible by applying a multidisciplinary analysis methodology and a territorial approach to risk, developing interdisciplinary knowledge systems and initiating climate governance processes, based on the analysis of local vulnerabilities and the definition of adaptation strategies.

These…
