Trees in the urban environment: new scenarios and old critical issues”
A deeper look in light of EU Regulation 2024/1991
National Tree Day
The European Regulation on nature restoration, particularly in Article 8, addresses the issue of improving urban ecosystems, requiring Member States to ensure that, by 2030, no national area of urban green space is lost and emphasizing the need to preserve and increase urban tree cover. Important challenges are therefore posed for green infrastructure in urban ecosystems—challenges for which Italy is not entirely unprepared, as the last decade has seen the consolidation of a regulatory and strategic framework that has increased awareness among technicians and administrators of the environmental and social role of trees and green spaces in cities, as well as the importance of their proper planning and management. Nevertheless, it is clear that efforts must be accelerated, with greater focus on expanding green and blue areas to create cities that are more inclusive, livable, and resilient to the impacts of climate change.

ISTAT data on public green areas, in fact, show only very modest trends in per-capita availability and the proportion of public green space, while at the same time land consumption is increasing, the population is aging, and social inequalities are growing. Positive signs, however, are emerging with the Municipal Green Plans, which an increasing number of cities are adopting to enhance the ecosystem services provided by green areas for the benefit of the most vulnerable neighborhoods and to define a more sustainable model of the city.
