Terra Solida: sponsor of the “The city for green 2019” award

The award, now in its twentieth year, followed the growth of public green in Italy, making clear the transformation interventions in which newly built open spaces or the urban transformations of industrial districts have improved the quality of life in cities. Attention to more specifically naturalistic spaces was also enhanced, such as the new urban forests, fountains and suburban woods.
Therefore, alongside the recognition given to Municipalities for new parks and gardens, prizes have been introduced to enhance the constant maintenance of public green areas over time.

the Award is awarded to Italian Municipalities that have distinguished themselves for innovative achievements or management methods, aimed at increasing the public green heritage through new construction and redevelopment interventions or in which the maintenance aspect is favoured. With the Award, attention is paid to improving the environmental conditions of one's territory, also through the valorisation of biodegradable and compostable waste.
The Award also welcomes interventions and initiatives from other public bodies and private structures with public purposes that have been able to enhance the green spaces of their structures. As an example we cite hospital spaces with therapeutic greenery, specific interventions for the valorisation of historic gardens and botanical gardens, natural spaces within university campuses, gardens and vegetable gardens within schools.

The award ceremony of the "La Città per il Verde" Award will be held in Milan on Friday 25 October 2019 at Anteo Palazzo del Cinema, Sala Astra, followed by the "Green Tour" near the award ceremony venue. These places characterize the new Milan and have become an international showcase of important urban transformations and green developments.
