Abstract
Greenways, territorial fragilities, and landscape are distinct themes. This is evident from the comparison of projects for the five coastal greenways already implemented in Italy on abandoned railway tracks. The aim is to overcome this separation by envisioning the greenway as an environmental infrastructure that serves as a catalyst for a broader territorial project, as achieved by San Rafael, Melbourne, and Enschede. The perspective is to utilise rain gardens, bioswales, and stormwater tree trenches to transform the greenway into a permeable body where existing and planned vegetation provides opportunities to rethink open space in terms of ecosystem services. This new design concept is also beneficial for the fourteen greenways scheduled for future implementation.
