La progettazione multi-scalare di una infrastruttura verde: prime sperimentazioni in ambito montano

Green and blue infrastructures (GBI) represent a multi-scale and multi-function spatial organisation model promoting the integration of Ecosystem Services in territorial and landscape planning processes, fostering the design and implementation of strategic contents. Adopting a multi-scale approach allows for designing an Ecosystem service-based GBI defined at a proper ecological-functional scale identifying suitable goals and strategies for addressing planning and programming tools at their most suitable implementation scale. In updating territorial and landscape plans for the Lombardy region, a Regional Green Infrastructure (Rete Verde Regionale, RVR) was defined as a strategic landscape infrastructure based on Ecosystem services mapping and assessment aiming to improve their performance, defining strategies, actions and solutions for increasing Natural Capital and human-well-being. This contribution describes the process of downscaling RVR design and features in the pilot territorial context of “Media and Alta Valtellina”, a fragile mountain area affected by remarkable ongoing and future planning interventions.
