Perspectives from planning history

This event, organised as part of the activities of the Italian pavilion at the 17th International Architecture Exhibition of the Biennale di Venezia, launches the book Re-imagining Resilient Productive Landscapes: Perspectives from Planning History edited by Carla Brisotto and Fabiano Lemes de Oliveira. The book reflects upon how lessons from past urban planning experiences can inform current debates on the relationships between the city and the countryside and on productive urban landscapes. Today, the extent of urbanisation has put in check categorical definitions of the urban and the rural. Besides, productive urban landscapes have been posited as instruments for the positive transformation of the agricultural sector and to approach territorial fragility while promoting social cohesion, food security, and broader environmental and economic benefits. The presentation is divided in three parts: an introduction discussing urban-rural planning and food production in cities, the presentation of the chapters’ findings by the authors, and a final discussion and analysis of cross-cutting themes.
