Topic and Contents of the Book Series: The series explores the challenges related to contemporary urbanization phenomena in connection with environmental and ecological issues from a landscape perspective, serving as a reference for the regenerative design of urban and rural environments toward a fair and sustainable transition. Through a multidisciplinary approach, the series aims to delve into the complexity of the relationships between urban planning, the environment, society, and policy in a world that is increasingly interconnected and rapidly changing. Concepts such as urban metabolism and circular economy are presented as research strategies and directions for building innovative and unconventional balances between space and society. The goal is to investigate an integrated approach to addressing the complexities of the contemporary city in a time of socio-environmental crisis, through the in-depth study and experimentation of innovative forms of knowledge, planning, and design in problematic contexts where global issues intersect with local specificities. Urban planning examines, through practices of sharing and co-design, themes of ecology and the continuity of landscape values to outline new possibilities for cohabitation among living beings-both human and non-human. This involves rethinking the cognitive and design tools of planning to ensure urban habitability and the biodiversity of fragile habitats. The landscape lens enables a transversal exploration of the relationship between urban culture and the environment in urban and peri-urban areas, coastal environments, metropolitan cities, and inland regions, among "wastescapes" and heritage values.The emerging challenges of cities in transition call for theoretical contributions and design experiments that are analyzed and assessed within multi-dimensional urban processes.
