The Project of the Green Infrastructure in Lombardy Region. A Resilient Spatial Structure for the Landscape Plan

This contribution describes the ongoing revision process of the Lombardy Region Landscape plan (PPR). As part of the landscape plan revision, the regional Ecosystem services (ES) mapping plays a key role in addressing strategies for biodiversity conservation and landscape protection. The aim is to update the plan’s fact-finding contents and integrate landscape environmental, ecological and anthropic components and use a methodological approach to define plan contents, including spatial design elements and regulations. The design of the Green and Blue Infrastructure (GBI) and its different characterisation are supported and directly connected to the mapping and evaluation of ES, to preserve and protect landscape values and define strategies and planning actions to increase natural assets for human well-being, in a resilient multi-scale perspective.
