New perspectives and moving targets to improve biodiversity and urban resilience

This paper shows some results of the research activities carried out in the spoke five of the National Biodiversity Future Center aimed at testing the effectiveness of urban regeneration projects, including creating Pocket Parks as adaptation strategies to climate change. The methodological approach adopted to validate the design of small-scale resilient urban spaces implemented by the Municipality of Florence will be presented starting from the definition of state-of-the-art. Furthermore, it will analyse how the meta-planning model (based on the integration of NbS) and the predictive tools used in the experimentation can be used to develop future regulatory tools for planning and controlling the transformation of the built environment.
