Summary:

This issue of OASE makes a critical analysis of how soil connects to urban planning and urban design, and how it can adjust those practices in exploring new agendas.

For a long time, the theme of soil - as matter, not as territory - has been the quasi exclusive subject of agriculture, geography and soil science. Only in the last few decades, due to a rapidly growing awareness of climate change, has soil increasingly come into focus in urban design, in particular as a matter that can also provide ecosystem services in urban environments.

Inspired by Bernardo Secchi's 1986 text 'Progetto di Suolo', this issue of OASE makes a critical analysis of how soil - as an intermediary package that connects surface and subsurface - can further connect to the practices of urbanism and urban design, and how it can guide those practices in exploring new agendas.
