5.2 Case Study: Brownfield Regeneration in Trento

Trento is an alpine city of around 120,000 inhabitants in northeastern Italy, located along the valley of the river Adige, roughly half-way between the Brenner Pass and the Adriatic Sea. The main settlement originated from the concentration of urban areas and infrastructures in the valley floor and hosts around 70% of the population. The remaining 30% lives in small villages spread across the surrounding hills and mountains. Agricultural areas, predominantly vineyards and apple orchards, occupy the few non-urbanized patches on the valley floor and the sunny hillsides. Forests cover almost half of the large municipal territory, which spreads over more than 150 km2 and up to an elevation of 2180 m. Of this, more than 10 km2 are designated as natural protected areas, including eight Natura 2000 sites and four local reserves (Fig. 5.1).
