“…In a similar way, the Geodesign Decision Support Environment (GDSE) is a Spatial DSS based on collaborative process, that enable multiple stakeholders in resource flows and stock, including materials and waste management in spatial contexts, by implementing eco-innovative solutions for looping actions at intermunicipal scale (Arciniegas et al, 2019;Remøy et al, 2019). These kinds of tools represent significant Spatial DSSs to be further implemented in future developments, and combining evaluation maps for the spatial circular regeneration of urban areas, landscape and wastescapes (Cerreta et al, 2020b). The studies analyzed consider the social dynamics and the social involvement in planning in different ways: the co-creation processes in Urban Living Labs, allow stakeholders and local actors from provate and public sectors to take part in urban strategies development oriented to circularity (Amenta et al, 2019;Remøy et al, 2019), study workshops with students (Amenta & Qu, 2020), or involving stakeholders in real case studies implementing eco-solutions (Sgobbo, 2017).…”

The study of the city as a living organism in constant transformation is especially linked to the investigation of its metabolic flows and their impacts on urban systems. The interplay of urban metabolic flows with the natural and anthropic landscape, including the built environment and its discarded parts, is connected in various ways. Urban Metabolism has been mainly studied by environmentalists and engineers so far, but it is recently acquiring growing significance also for urban planners, architects, and policymakers to determine and evaluate the impacts of human transformation on the human-natural ecosystem. Considering the urban landscape and the metabolism of its resources as an integrated system requires the recognition of which materials, methods, approaches, and general issues should be considered in planning and design for the transition toward a Circular Metabolic Urban Landscape. The process of transition to circular cities should necessarily involve actors from different research fields. Thus, this study aims at systematizing the recent and constantly evolving knowledge on this topic. This chapter presents a Systematic Review of the recent scientific literature by analyzing the production of the last 10 years on Urban Metabolism and Circular Economy in the context of spatial design and planning. The criteria set as a guide were made explicit through the coding of the selected papers by employing ATLAS.ti and grouping the subjects coded in five main clusters: theoretical issues, UM-specific topics, planning and design research, interdisciplinary studies and research and applications, and open issues. A semantic network links the cross-disciplinarity topics. The challenges and research topics to consider for a Circular Metabolic Urban Landscape are then considered as a set of links in the recent scientific literature selected.

“…While it is true that the initial and very numerous cases of self-organized communities have achieved successful results with the existing material and economic (as well as human) resources, it is also true that if one aims to enable participatory management models, and thus at their concrete impact on the territories [83], it is necessary that institutional recognition and formalization be followed by the support of adequate implementation tools and infrastructures [84].…”

In the European context, culture has a key role in sustainable development strategies. Within the framework of the UNESCO Culture 2030 Agenda, new cultural approaches support sustainable policies by affecting individual and collective behavior towards interpreting sustainability as a ‘common good’. This paper aims to define innovative sustainability strategies from the perspectives of younger generations, in order to understand the transformative potential of new cultural approaches to sustainability and common goods in achieving the Agenda 2030 goals. The ‘Green Blue Youth Vision 2030’ approach analyses the different multidimensional components of possible innovative cultural alternatives by emphasizing the potential of the proposals from young people. The initial results consist of defining “Green Blue Youth Vision 2030” proposals collected during the co-design roundtables, and analyzing key results from a survey on the direct and potential beneficiaries of the Green Blue Days project in Southern Italy. In conclusion, the research allows for preliminary reflections on the definition, by the new generations, of a new way of understanding sustainability as a common good, oriented towards overcoming cultural, economic, environmental, and social conflicts to stimulate circular urban regeneration in Southern Italy.

“…Wasted roadscapes lie at the heart of the city's complex problems and must be evaluated and analysed through various multi-criteria and non-multi-criteria approaches. They can also be included in planning processes through collaborative planning tools such as Geodesignhub (GDH) [53][54][55] and Geo-design Decision Support Environment (GDSE) [56,57] and thus become one of the elements to be included within decision support systems (Figure 1).…”

The continuous transformations that characterise cities have placed at the centre of the political debate the theme of urban regeneration, as urban, environmental, and social rehabilitation, especially about degraded urban areas that become fertile ground for new urban functions. Considering degraded areas as the result of economic, social, physical, and environmental transition processes, their regeneration must consider an inclusive and multi-actor process involving different stakeholders and users. Such an understanding examines multiple cultural and design approaches to urban regeneration and geographical transformation. This paper implements the Geodesign approach to investigate and develop a Collaborative Decision Support System oriented to the planning and assessing wasted roadscapes regeneration. The wasted roadscapes are conceived as degraded areas located close to roads, which need sustainable strategies with particular attention to local problems related to accessibility and the inclusion of degraded areas in the planning process. Bacoli’s city (South of Italy), has been selected as a best-fit case study for testing the decision-making process elaborated, involving a working group of professors, researchers, PhD candidates, students, local authorities, and citizens. The Geodesign approach facilitated the definition of sustainable planning strategies among people with diverse backgrounds and interests, aiming at recovering degraded landscapes and connecting them to urban accessibility strategies, facing conflicts and supporting the elaboration of a shared vision.
