Smart green space management for resilient, sustainable and liveable cities

Green areas provide several ecosystem services that are important for the quality of the urban environment and the well-being of city dwellers, including reducing the urban heat island effect, absorbing greenhouse gases and air pollutants, and creating opportunities for social interaction and physical activity. 

The European Union, with the Nature Restoration Regulation 2024/1991, has dedicated specific measures to the restoration of urban green spaces, requiring Member States to achieve zero net loss of urban green spaces at national level between 2024 and 2030 and to progressively increase their area from 2031 onwards, including through integration into buildings and infrastructure. 

Technical and management solutions can help improve the maintenance and use of urban green spaces, reducing costs for public administrations, generating environmental benefits such as water savings, and supporting the active involvement of citizens in caring for the territory. 

The workshop will explore the state of the art in urban green space planning, management and use, with a particular focus on innovations related to the use of digital technologies, management, and business models.

The event will be held in Italian.
