Re-use of urban spaces for safety and productive redevelopment

The re-use of degraded urban areas focused on activation of new processes of functional, environmental and social reconnection, well satisfies some needs that can be traced back to the thorny issue of safety and, in general, to the improvement of the quality of life. In particular, the following considerations start from the idea of reconstructing the relations between the natural and built environment through a "productive" development of the territory and they share the interest for environmentally friendly technologies use. The topic of reconnection is considered according to two declinations: technological and ecological-environmental. From a technological point of view, the proposal of a "productive" redevelopment intervention implies to concentrate on relationships, in interactive terms, with the context. The use of urban agriculture as a production system also allows to transform areas, often characterized by degradation and degeneration, into sites completely renewed from an ecological and environmental point of view.
