Progettare i sistemi insediativi come nodi di una complessa rete eco-territoriale in armonia con la vita e la natura

The living and the second law of thermodynamics can significantly contribute to the metropolitan contexts’ regeneration in a bioregional key. The city, interpreted as a node of the eco-territorial network, can become part of the great chain of living, retrieving shape and measure thanks to the connection with the many autonomous, non-hierarchical, federative networks of a bioregional government that puts into a dialogue different grassroots practices (bioecological food communities with urban communities for the self-regeneration of outskirts; ecomuseum communities with local landscape observatories; energy communities with forest communities). This paper explores design scenarios and suggests a few design criteria and principles.
