The Earth Organization has focused on creating Green Public Infrastructures which are an alternative to nature-based solutions. Green infrastructures are particularly attractive because they offer the possibility of dealing with many challenges at the same time in the same spatial area: for example, they maintain or enhance local biodiversity, increase carbon sequestration, improve the microclimate but also our resistance to extreme weather events, improve the quality of life of residents, upgrade the identity of a neighborhood and potentially create new employment opportunities. Particular emphasis is placed on the selection of plant material, which includes a wide variety of native plants, shrubs and trees with a wide range of flowering, but also a large number, which contribute to the enrichment of biodiversity, where we essentially create a new ecosystem.
The creation of the parks aims to form an ecosystem
which will be able to achieve the maximum change in relation to:
• Environmental improvement, through the long-term sequestration of its dioxide
coal.
• Climatic upgrade, reducing temperatures and offering cooling
in the specific locations during the warm months.
• Increase in biodiversity, being a place for the development of flora and fauna
fauna.
• Correct exploitation of rainwater and returning it to the aquifer
horizon.
• Aesthetic upgrade, by achieving a dense tissue of trees and shrubs.
• Creation of relaxation areas where residents can meet and get in touch with nature.
• Spaces for co-planning with citizens for the implementation of experiential actions for sustainable development and tackling the climate crisis.
