Event co-organized by NbS Italy Hub.
In recent years, interest in the urban forest has also grown significantly among Italian politicians who have issued and provided ad hoc funding for these interventions as part of actions to combat climate change. There are also numerous public and private initiative projects. Forty years after the first significant urban forestry interventions in Italy, potential and critical issues have emerged, in particular with regard to planting techniques and subsequent cultural care: it is important to take advantage of these experiences in order to intervene with a rational approach in the next environmental challenges , recognizing the potential of the urban forest, but at the same time the importance of supporting it in the different phases with scientific evidence.
No less important are the issues related to planning and governance models.
For these reasons, the Urban Green Working Group of the Italian Society of Silviculture and Forest Ecology (SISEF) organized a meeting bringing together experts, researchers and actors from the Italian urban forest in order to take stock and provide civil society with ideas of reflection. The meeting is organized in collaboration with the National Center for Agricultural Technologies AGRITECH Spoke 7 (Integrated models for the development of marginal areas to promote multifunctional production systems that improve agro-ecological and socioeconomic sustainability) and with NBS Italy hub of which the University of Bari is a co-founding member.
