Course Description:

This course explores the importance of urban soil in landscape architecture and the potential of nature-based solutions for rehabilitating and enhancing soil functions in urban environments. Participants will examine the concept of nature-based solutions (NBS) and their application in restoring degraded soil and improving soil quality. The course will delve into the bioremediation capacity of grasses and their suitability for planting in urban areas, as well as propose technological solutions for their practical application. Additionally, the course will address the significance of urban soil security and the role of soils in sustainable urban planning.


Learning Objectives:

1. Attendees will understand the bioremediation capacity of grasses and their suitability for planting in urban areas to improve soil quality and reduce pollution.

2. Attendees will understand  the relationship between soil connectivity and sustainable urban planning, including the integration of soils in planning guidelines and policies.

3. Attendees will learn about the impact of urbanization on soil pollution and the potential of the COVID-19 pandemic period as a tool for investigating pollution sources.
