Landscape is the result of the reciprocal transformative relationship between
humans and the places where they live. In recent decades, this relationship has been
weakening, especially in urban areas, where the quality of life is decreasing due to the accelerating
decay and the environmental crisis. Within this context, action strategies that
create new landscapes planted in a city run the risk of being rejected by the inhabitants.
An iconic case is the one of the roof garden, whose reputation, distorted by greenwashing
operations, is far from achieving its full potential. Therefore, it is important to implement
a systemic strategy whereby the green roof redefines the urban landscape together with
the people living there.
