Quality of life and sustainable urban redevelopment

Abstract

The urban landscape is intended as a place of life,meeting, as a dynamic space natural or anthropic to explore, discover or reinterpret. In this scenario, the relationship between the population and the urban landscape is very important as, on the one hand, the landscape promotes the consolidation of territorial identities, and on the other, it requires a certain level of competence, availability, and awareness to take responsibility for the actions that affect it. By acquiring a social conscience, it will be possible to consolidate local and regional identities and diversity, recognising an interest in participation in public decisions. Some national and international urban realities, taking in- spiration from the European Convention on Landscape guidelines, have applied best urban requalification and regeneration practices, which have become an example of planning worth imitating. In this study, we will talk about “Countless Cities” – the Biennial of the Cities of the World – an event/exhibition where urban planning and architecture are discussed, and the urban landscape in the transformation of different cities around the world are analysed in greater depth.
