Final thoughts -- Projects by Stefano Boeri Architetti -- "Cities have contributed for centuries to the promotion of some of humanity's greatest ideas, we must now urgently include them as among the principal players in the environmental debate and at the forefront of any policy tackling and countering - possibly reversing - climate change. Nevertheless, even today one of the most significant technologies capable of absorbing CO2 and restoring our environment is photosynthesis. Planting trees, in addition to protecting existing natural areas and biodiversity, together with de-carbonization, renewable energies, digitalization, smart mobility and the circular economy could be the set of strategies necessary to tackle climate change. Today the effects of the Anthropocene age are ever more visible, changing our environment and affecting every species that lives within it. Green Obsession offers a path to be taken, a hard but still necessary paradigm shift - even for architecture and urbanism - that aims to give a voice to this much needed ecological transition. This book aims to unveil the processes and the complexity involved in the search for a new kind of urbanism, while raising questions and opening old wounds related to the relationship between the human species and Nature and finally putting these fragments together to create a portrait of our era. We need to conceive cities as new green catalysts. Now more than ever, it is essential to act together as separate individuals and professionals, joining the cause as members of the global community with a shared environmental strategy. We all have to open the era of a new alliance between Nature and City"-- 210612 City planning--Environmental aspects. 281797 Sustainable urban development 299228 Urbanisme durable 196981 Architecture environmental aspects 284794 Trees in cities 299229 Nature and civilization 257657 Nature-effect of human beings on lcc 6 NA9053.E58 General B64 2021 298448 298448 0 0 lcc 0 0 4 4 33 2022-05-09 Amazon 51.75 0 General NA9053.E58 B64 2021 91000000067389 2022-05-19 00:00:00 1 61.75 2022-05-09 6
