This thesis analyzes urban green space management through a comparison between Italy and the United States, focusing on the case studies of Trento, Turin and Berkeley (California). The aim is to understand how different regulatory, urban and cultural approaches influence the planning, distribution and role of green spaces. The first part explores the historical evo-lution of urban greenery, urban planning standards, the “15-minutes city” concept, and the significance of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) in addressing current environmental chal-lenges. It also highlights the role of green spaces in enhancing quality of life, public health, and urban resilience. The second part examines the strategies adopted by Trento and Turin, two Italian cities known for their innovative and integrated green planning policies. In parallel, Berkeley serves as an American model focused on sustainability and community-based urban planning. Through this comparison, the thesis identifies critical issues, strengths, and potential design solutions for more equitable, sustainable, and functional green space man-agement. The findings emphasize the importance of integrated policies that connect environmental, social, and urban dimensions.
Il presente elaborato pone l’obiettivo di analizzare la gestione del verde urbano attraverso un confronto tra Italia e Stati Uniti, prendendo in esame i casi studio delle città di Trento, Torino e Berkeley (California). Lo scopo è comprendere come differenti approcci normativi, urbanistici e culturali influenzino la progettazione, la distribuzione e la funzione degli spazi verdi. La prima parte della tesi introduce l’evoluzione storica del verde urbano, gli standard urbanistici, il concetto di “città di 15 minuti” e l’importanza della Nature-Based Solutions (NBS), anche a livello europeo, per affrontare le sfide ambientali contemporanee. Viene inoltre evidenziato il ruolo del verde nel migliorare la qualità dell’aria, la salute pubblica e la resilienza urbana. Nella seconda parte si analizzano le politiche attuate da Trento e Torino, due città italiane che si distinguono per strategie avanzate e integrate nella pianificazione del verde. In parallelo, Berkeley rappresenta un modello americano orientato alla sostenibilità urbana e alla partecipazione comunitaria. Attraverso il confronto emergono criticità, potenzialità e spunti progettuali utili a una gestione più equa, sostenibile e funzionale degli spazi verdi, sottolineando la necessità di politiche integrate tra ambiente, società e urbanistica.

Abstract
This thesis analyzes urban green space management through a comparison between Italy and the United States, focusing on the case studies of Trento, Turin and Berkeley (California). The aim is to understand how different regulatory, urban and cultural approaches influence the planning, distribution and role of green spaces. The first part explores the historical evo-lution of urban greenery, urban planning standards, the “15-minutes city” concept, and the significance of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) in addressing current environmental chal-lenges. It also highlights the role of green spaces in enhancing quality of life, public health, and urban resilience. The second part examines the strategies adopted by Trento and Turin, two Italian cities known for their innovative and integrated green planning policies. In parallel, Berkeley serves as an American model focused on sustainability and community-based urban planning. Through this comparison, the thesis identifies critical issues, strengths, and potential design solutions for more equitable, sustainable, and functional green space man-agement. The findings emphasize the importance of integrated policies that connect environmental, social, and urban dimensions.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
