Nature
in the city

cliamate crisis, the EU 2030 Agenda, the EU Green Deal. The environmental emergency is evident, the issue is on top of political agendas and receives major attention from experts, scholars, youth movements and mass media. Torino itself is facing fine dust, heath waves and risk of floods. Nevertheless, it also takes advantage of extraordinary, extended and diversified natural and landscape resources. They are parks, home gardens, woods, rivers, natural reserves, tree-lined avenues, urban gardens and cultivated fields.

Through pictures, maps, videos, technical and scientific documentation, meetings, walks and educational projects in schools, Urban Lab intends to document and storytell the environmental situation in the city and reflect upon the relationship between Nature and the City.

Thursday 31 March at 5.30pm is the occasion to discover the program of activities for the forthcoming months and visit the new setting up of the space hosting temporary exhibitions on the topic of nature in the city. It covers four perspectives of investigation: vulnerability biodiversity, the right to green the wild as a resource.

The meeting hosts OrtiAlti and the Mirafiori Community Foundation that, through their projects Beeozanam and Spazio WOW, give a picture of Torino between urban forestry and Nature Based Solutions.

The access to the meeting and opening is free, with face mask and a valid Covid-19 vaccine certificate.
