Crumbling Landscapes, Revealed Landscapes: Risk or Opportunity?

Abstract

The hydrogeological instability of italian territory requires greater attention to urban planning, to ensure the safety of the people. The typical interventions of naturalistic engineering are not the only ones able to solve the problem. Landscape architecture, thanks to its ability of reading the signs of territory, could respond to the demand of safety and retrain of areas with characteristics of instability.
