In recent decades, the concept of landscape has gained increasing importance in the disciplinary discourse on urban planning and territorial development. It has progressively become a conceptual reference for understanding and analyzing the values that guide strategies, projects, and transformation actions. Landscape—understood beyond perception and the visible—represents the interweaving of nature and artifice, of anthropized and ecological space, and encompasses irreplaceable resource heritages of cultural, historical, and environmental significance. A new landscape ethics is emerging, one that considers urbanization phenomena in light of the planet's limits, promoting a notion of growth that is no longer expansive or extractive. Landscapes in transition point to territories and places shaped by the transformations of the contemporary city. They demand a regenerative approach capable of restoring their landscape potential, radically rethinking both our gaze on spaces of waste and abandonment—products of recent decades’ urban metabolism—and the ways in which we design them.

Keywords: landscape; transition; interstitial spaces; regenerative design; public space.
