The spread of pandemics, war and the climate crisis has shown how close the unsustainability of the current development model, oblivious of places and their inhabitants, has now come to a point of no return; but at the same time it has made more transparent - as well as more urgent - the reasons for the eco-territorialist turn, centred on the conceptual and operational device of the urban bioregion. Delving into a discussion already underway, the essay describes such a tool by declining it along three analysis and design axes: the founding role of territorial heritage, the integrated and synergic activation of all the "constructive elements" of the production of space, and the self-government of the territory as a common good.

The currently prevailing development model and its effects in terms of settlement organization have negative implications especially in metropolitan contexts, where the effects of large agglomerations, speculative dynamics and neoliberal exploitation are stronger. The idea of urban bioregion tries to build an alternative to the dominant, heteronomous model of settlement organization aiming at 'reterritorializing' the ecological question within the processes of production of space with an integrated and multidimensional approach, careful to enhance the capacities and possibilities of local self-government. It therefore also calls into question a rethinking of the forms of politics. The essay illustrates possible paths in this direction, starting from suburban neighbourhoods and put in place through mutualism networks and civic hubs, describing a few experimentations in the Roman area.

The volume deals with the theme of urban border landscape design, observing in particular the experience of "green belts" and "green wedges". Experimenting in the periurban territories of Florence, the limit landscape project is not aimed at the reconstruction of ideal limits to the city, but is the bearer of instances of rebalancing, connotation and regeneration typical of border territories, where conditions of indeterminacy of identity characters are felt and strong reductions in landscape quality.
