Nature-based solutions (NBS) represent a functional approach to address these critical issues, recognised by numerous European and international programmes and regulations (e.g. Green Deal, EU Biodiversity Strategies, Urban Agenda for the EU, UN SDGs). However, despite the consolidated benefits of urban greening, there are still knowledge, operational and functional gaps, both in implementation policies and in the scientific literature on the sector. In particular, it is currently not easy to identify multidisciplinary theoretical-applicable approaches that are organically aligned with the management and planning of greening strategies, taking into account aspects of resilience to anthropogenic and meteorological-climatic impacts, regeneration of existing built contexts and individual and community psychophysical well-being, among others.
The ENC conference takes place within the framework of the ongoing activities of the PRIN 2022 PNNR “project “GREENWORK” and aims to be a moment of reflection, exchange and discussion of opinions, knowledge, experimentation and innovation related to greening strategies, analysed in their multidisciplinary and multiscale manifestation. The event is aimed at professionals and researchers from the fields of civil and environmental engineering, architecture, urban planning and related disciplines, with particular reference to NBS interventions and the regeneration of urban contexts.
