The Urban Green Plan of Trento outlines a co-created strategy to enhance nature as a shared resource, integrating climate adaptation, inclusivity, and biodiversity through adaptive planning and nature-based solutions embedded in urban policy and spatial development.
The Urban Green Plan, developed for the City of Trento, adopts a co-creation approach to promote a holistic and collaborative strategy for protecting and enhancing natural systems as common goods. Green and blue infrastructure are positioned as structural elements in countering the effects of climate change, supported by adaptive planning and nature-based solutions. The plan identifies multiple areas of intervention: safeguarding biodiversity, expanding urban green spaces, reducing architectural barriers, and increasing the inclusiveness and accessibility of public gardens. It also addresses the mitigation of climate-related phenomena such as heat islands, with actions applied to the entire system of public spaces.
Eight strategic objectives guide the plan: protecting the landscape-natural heritage; improving land management; fostering cooperation with the local community and stakeholders; ensuring accessibility to public green areas; encouraging climate adaptation; reinforcing green infrastructure in urban planning; increasing green-blue ecological connections; and laying the foundation for a future river park as a driver of territorial reconnection.
The Urban Green Plan defines a forward-looking urban vision where nature, resilience, and social cohesion converge as pillars of sustainable urban transformation.
