Climate Adaptation & Mitigation
The climate emergency is a key challenge for the landscapes of our era. Mitigation and adaptation measures are crucial to ensure human well-being and the efficient functioning of ecosystems. Nature-positive landscapes are our response to the hazards and uncertainty of a changing climate.
Integrated Urban Planning
Urban open spaces represent a chance to rethink our way of life with a view to a greener and more equitable transition. Our planning approach makes the landscape a moderator of other disciplines, to provide an integrated vision that considers all meaningful aspects of urban planning within a collaborative process.
Landscape Transformation
Brownfields and new urban developments are a lifetime opportunity to introduce innovative solutions and planning approaches. Energy, ecological transition, and the need for more sustainable infrastructure shape the development of peri-urban and rural areas into productive landscapes.
Participatory Processes
Sustainable urban development also implies justice and social inclusion. Planning procedures must engage with local communities to ensure the participation of different ages, genders, viewpoints, and cultural backgrounds. With the support of experts and innovative methodologies, we bridge the interests of various stakeholders and bring them to a shared vision.
Ecosystem Assessment
The real legacy of our society must be the ability to apply digital technologies and scientific knowledge to the design and management of ecosystems to ensure a more sustainable future for our planet. Assessing natural capital is our mission, in order to create environmental awareness and promote data-driven strategies.

LAND Research Lab
Urban Biodiversity Mapping
LAND Research Lab, in collaboration with the Polifactory team from Politecnico di Milano and wildlife experts from Studio TerraViva, conducted the T-Factor project in Milan Innovation District (2021 to 2023) to address climate change and biodiversity loss in urban areas by integrating nature-centric design principles.
The project aimed to identify and map the environmental, cultural, and social values of urban biodiversity to assist decision-makers in implementing conservation strategies aligned with the European Commission’s Biodiversity Strategy 2030 and the European Council’s objectives.
Culture
Communication, in particular raising public awareness, is an important part of resilient processes. News, publications (LANDmagazine) and exhibition areas such as La Wunderkammer seek to establish and maintain contacts. The focus is on people and their needs.
