Methods for increasing urban sustainability by planning green areas in industrial districts

Abstract

The idea of the present work started from the concept of urban sustainability, which aims at the correct use of all spaces by increasing the areas planted rationally and thus aligning them with the objectives of sustainable development established by Law no. 24 of 2007 and republished on November 10, 2009 (law on the regulation and administration of urban spaces).Starting from the desire to create a relaxing space for the employees of the BMT Aerospace factory which specializes in the development and production of precision gears for the aerospace industry, this work proposes the arrangement of a special green area in the immediate vicinity of the production hall, visible as much from the offices as well as from the work benches. The paper aims to propose the creation of a relaxing space that can easily fall into the category of "industrial green spaces" or "industrial landscape architecture". When removed from the industrial context of the factory, the proposed landscaping falls in the category of park gardens.The plant massifs, the lawn, the water, the wood, the natural stones, were the essential elements for creating the relaxation space,all the more necessary in the short working breaks. As a result, the landscaping presented in this work radically transformed the "green area" inside the factory into a modern, pleasant, comforting space for those to whom it was intended.
