Summary

Sustainable green interventions can enhance environmental resilience and community well-being in densely built historic centers without compromising cultural heritage. A study on the UNESCO-listed Historic Centre of Naples demonstrates that temporary landscape designs improve social life while preserving architectural integrity, offering a replicable model for other urban areas facing similar challenges. The research employed a multi-methodological approach to assess spatial and environmental features, identifying short-term actions that balance sustainability with historical preservation.
