Il discorso ambientale attorno alla città e ai modi per rendere l’insediamento contemporaneo sostenibile e resiliente si è andato articolando in una serie di approcci e teorie che hanno prodotto una varietà di soluzioni. Il tema della forma urbana e dei suoi effetti sulla sostenibilità non sempre, però, è esplicitamente dichiarato e affrontato. Spesso soluzioni e metodi proposti sembrano indifferenti alla forma che la città sarebbe auspicabile assumesse per conseguire gli ambiziosi obiettivi che vengono dichiarati. Nonostante la questione della forma sembri venire relegata sullo sfondo del discorso, essa in realtà è rilevante e le più avvedute sperimentazioni di ‘città eco-sostenibili’ riportano tale tema al centro, inserendolo in un più ampio ragionamento sui rapporti tra l’infrastruttura urbana e l’ambiente.
