Un processo di urbanizzazione può certamente essere considerato una delle più significative alterazioni antropiche del sistema ambientale in un territorio. Il presente studio vuole comprendere le caratteristiche spaziali della crescita urbana e i suoi impatti sulle componenti ambientali nella Città Metropolitana di Palermo, un'area in cui i livelli di consumo di suolo inedificato e di pregio, e le conseguenti forme di frammentazione ambientale e territoriale, rischiano di compromettere non solo il valore paesaggistico-ambientale dei territori coinvolti ma anche la loro identità. Partendo da queste premesse, questo contributo esplora il rapporto di reciprocità tra ambiente costruito e territorio aperto, con l'obiettivo di individuare possibili strategie di riequilibrio territoriale basate sulla valorizzazione dei sistemi ambientali.

Abstract

The process of urbanization is considered as one of the most significant anthropic alterations of the environmental framework, the present study attempts to understand spatial characteristics of urban growth and its impacts on environmental components in Metropolitan City of Palermo. One area where the levels of unbuilt and valuable soil consumption, and the consequent forms of environmental and territorial fragmentation risk compromising not only the landscape-environmental value of the territories involved, but their identity. Starting from these premises, this contribution explores the reciprocity relationship between built environment and open territory, with the aim of identifying possible territorial rebalancing strategies based on the enhancement of environmental systems.
