Reconnecting People and Nature to face future challenges

On rigeneriamoterritorio.it, Ilaria Congia explores how inclusive landscape design processes restore ecological value, shape collective identity, and activate sustainable futures for our cities.

In a time marked by global conflict, environmental degradation, and uncontrolled urbanisation, landscape becomes a strategic driver of development. On Rigeneriamo il Territorio, the web platform dedicated to sustainable energy and regeneration, Ilaria Congia outlines how dynamic, nature-positive processes can reconnect people with their environment and shape resilient futures.

The approach embraces landscape as a system, not only ecological, but also productive, infrastructural, and social. From post-industrial sites to contaminated land, transformation is not just about remediation, but about reactivating territorial identity and vocations. This regeneration is rooted in large-scale analysis and people-oriented design, where inclusive participation plays a central role.
