The role of soil in urban resilience: NbS Italy Hub’s contribution to HarpoMagazine

Soil is an essential resource for urban sustainability, yet often overlooked in planning. The latest issue of HarpoMagazine, TERRA – Natural Resources and Sustainable Solutions for Urban Resilience, explores strategies for regenerating urban spaces through Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) and green roofs.

Among the contributors are Chiara Baldacchini (University of Tuscia, Deputy Coordinator of NbS Italy Hub) and Francesca Bretzel (CNR), who delve into the role of NbS in sustainable soil management. The editorial, curated by Arch. Elena Granata (Politecnico di Milano), introduces the debate on urban design and resilience.
