Green technologies per la riqualificazione ambientale delle infrastrutture

Green technologies for the environmental upgrading of infrastructures Abstract: Over the last few decades, the globalization phenomenon has determined the exponential development – from an economic, cultural and political standpoint – of traffic flows, the number of means and infrastructures involved in communication and exchange. At the same time, these represent one of the most complicated environmental issues of contemporary times, but perhaps also one of the most outstanding opportunities for setting up processes aimed at upgrading the territory and its constructions, towards environmental regeneration and social reorganization. These, in turn, would produce and spread (as in some already established examples of infrastructure upgrading) innovative and more sustainable forms of urban lifestyles.
