The book explores the fruitful convergence of spatial planning, community involvement, and agriculture, drawing on the experience of the Fiesole Organic District, which has been operational since 2018.
Current scientific literature portrays organic districts not just as economic entities, but as genuine mechanisms for co-design between local communities, experts, and public authorities, with the aim of regenerating the landscape. This book examines this concept in the context of the renewal of Fiesole’s urban planning instruments. Here, the active involvement of farmers has become intertwined with EU policies, prompting research into how this convergence could evolve into a genuine territorial project.
The book aims to stimulate debate on rural regeneration processes, in which the agricultural dimension reclaims its role as a public space and a common good.
