Landscape Transformation
Brownfields and new urban developments are a lifetime opportunity to introduce innovative solutions and planning approaches. The energy and ecological transition and the need for more sustainable infrastructure shape the development of urban and rural areas into productive landscapes.

In our projects we deploy nature-based solutions to provide benefits to citizens and non-human stakeholders. Large territorial transformations require a novel approach to detect their natural capital and ecological value. We developed participatory methodologies to combine science and citizen science with geographical and satellite data to map urban biodiversity while promoting uses in open spaces. This approach permits a broader consensus and incremental learning in the city-making process.
Renewable energies are at the core of the energy transition. Nevertheless, solar, wind and hydropower must be integrated into the landscape to enable effective benefits for local communities and to ensure the protection of natural ecosystems. We provide strategies and design consulting to achieve these goals by combining nature-based solutions with engineering and new monitoring technologies. For example, we are developing a novel approach to integrate photovoltaics with water, soil and vegetation, in both rural areas (agrivoltaics) and brownfields (ecovoltaics).

Road, rail and energy infrastructure is more and more important to connect people and places. However, the impact on landscape is a major concern due to aesthetic factors, accessibility, and ecosystem fragmentation. Green infrastructure is our solution to maintaining environmental connectivity while providing vibrant open spaces for people who live and work in the affected areas.
