Cicli, sistemi, e progetti: verso un approccio sociotecnico alla produzione della natura urbana

Urban afforestation programmes are coming up against the progressive reduction of public expenditure dedicated to the maintenance of public green areas and the multiplication of the actors that take charge of them. In this context, ambitions to ‘greening’ management practices, which include the reuse of clippings and prunings in the production of organic amendments, require more systemic knowledge, which is often not available today. This study investigates the case study of Milan through a socio-technical approach. The objective is to overcome knowledge gaps and enable the development of integrated biomass management models that overcome the current fragmentation and target scenarios of greater local closure of organic nutrient cycles.
