Abstract

The urban landscape is the result of both public and private choices stratified over the time, which involve material, immaterial, socio-economic, cultural, functional and aesthetic aspects. The territory is as a complex set of resources, in which elements of the different capitals (economic, social, natural, etc.) coexist. The ecosystems included in the natural capital provide essential goods and services, such as the fertile land, productive seas, drinking water, climate regulation, etc. The environmental question has opened up to new interpretations of the landscape. Innovative ex-ante and ex-post evaluation tools of the ecosystemic dimension of projects offer new ways of designing and representing the space. The article aims at deepening the models of landscape design and representation that contemplate the ecosystem value, overcoming the consolidated sectorial modalities. The landscape is conceived as a synthesis of the ecosystem services. The environmental design is combined with the representation through the introduction of new analytical, cognitive and predictive tools.

Notes

  1. 1.

    For example, I-Tree for the evaluation of the environmental benefits deriving from the planting of tree species, ENVI-met for the modelling and simulation of the physical and microclimatic behaviour of buildings, green areas and landscapes.

  2. 2.

    The Borromean knot is constituted by three inseparable rings, such that, having taken any one of the three, the remaining two are unrelated.

  4. 4.

    Due to the climate change issue, many cities and Countries have launched projects of urban forestation. Within the heterogeneous framework of initiatives, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) undoubtedly plays a fundamental role, supporting the development of actions of urban and peri-urban forestation, projects and strategic planning tools and contributing to the promotion of a sustainable and resilient model of city development. The effort of FAO is exemplified by the promotion of the World Forums on Urban Forests (WFUF) as well as of the Tree Cities of the World programme, intended to provide a vision of how cities around the world could use forests and trees to make cities greener, healthier and happier places to live as well as to foster international cooperation and successful approaches.
