Towards Regenerative Wasted Landscapes: Index of Attractiveness to Evaluate the Wasted Landscapes of Road Infrastructure

Abstract In recent years, the modernisation process has led to a radical transformation of territory, producing waste in various forms (José Zapata Campos and Michael Hall Organising city, Bristol University Press, 2013). Waste, not only sense domestic or industrial but also broader concept linked territory landscape’s spatial context. The relates degraded subsequently abandoned area. Places understood as waste, areas expelled from city extraneous they have no use are now at end their life cycle. These areas, recognised wastescapes (Amenta Attademo CRIOS 12:79–88, 2016) land (Berger Drosscape: Wasting urban America, Princeton Architectural 2007), draw mosaic increasingly fragmented. Also, current mobility requirements lead discussion on design road infrastructure. While some cases tendency is upgrade existing ones, others choice build new routes. routes causing many problems for landscape, which becoming even more devastated. A made up linear elements, ecosystem networks that physically connect space environmental create multiple landscapes within transport act glue between different poles generator (Russo Techne 15:39–44, 2018). With this mind, study aims analyse assess, through indicators, potential sites close major infrastructures can offer society economic terms.
