Traiettorie applicative e metodologiche del Contratto di Fiume tra territorio e città: trasversalità e multiscalarità.

Aquatic environments, fragile and vulnerable, are often compromised by phenomena such as soil artificialization, urban growth, and pollution. On one hand rivers are impacted by human activities on the territory; on the other, their degradation exacerbates the often-disastrous effects of climate change in urbanized areas. The River Contract (CdF) increasingly emerges as a strategic tool, addressing the shortcomings of outdated and rigid territorial planning to tackle global challenges through a local approach. It promotes a negotiated (and coordinated) model that integrates territorial, environmental, social, and economic aspects. Among the key innovative elements incorporated by CdFs are the recognition of Ecosystem Services, Nature-Based Solutions, and their contextualization within territorial and urban frameworks.
