“Nature-Based Planning” (NBP) represents the proposal for a new approach to urban planning that goes beyond a series of green interventions; it calls for a holistic development path that places natural processes at its core.
By bringing together perspectives from diverse European contexts, the program will explore collaboration among students, researchers, and the civil society for critical reflection on how to evolve Nature-Based Urban Planning principles toward a sustainable urban future. Through a case study in the metropolitan city of Turin, participants will engage in discussions on the practical applications of the NBP concept in the context of an inner area and Green Community.
In particular, this BIP represents an opportunity to test the NBP approach far beyond the ‘urban’ and at the sub-regional scale, on an alpine valley (Val Chiusella), rich in natural and cultural heritage. Active involvement of public and private stakeholders will enrich the program bringing local knowledge, interactive sessions, guided visits, contributing to the co-creation of future scenarios.
Students participating to the BIP will achieve 3 ECTS.
