Abstract

Reducing land take and restoring ecosystems are key strategies for achieving the EU’s No Net Land Take (NNLT) target by 2050. This study presents the findings of research conducted by LabPPTE at Politecnico di Milano (DAStU) during the revision of the land use plan for the municipality of Varese, Italy. It shows how an Ecosystem Services (ES) approach could effectively support downzoning and Green and Blue Infrastructure (GBI) development.
