Urbanization is a rapidly increasing global phenomenon driven by industrialization and technological developments, leading to migration from rural to urban areas with both positive and negative consequences. As recent global crises have highlighted the importance of health, food, and nature, it has become necessary to address the negative effects of urbanization and promote sustainable urban development that prioritizes the relationship between societies and nature. Challenges faced by urban areas, such as climate change, loss of biodiversity, air and water pollution, the danger of extinction of green areas, and social inequality, must be resolved sustainably. Holistic ecological solutions have been developed to address these problems, such as Nature-Based Solutions and Permaculture. Nature-Based Solutions are often supported by political, cultural, and economic actors seeking to develop systems that benefit many people. Permaculture is compatible with spreading social and ethical values and sustainability awareness to a broader audience. Together, these disciplines can play a crucial role in creating sustainable, resilient, and livable urban environments. This thesis aims to investigate whether Permaculture and Nature-Based Solutions can work together and determine the benefits of their collaboration. It also aims to determine these disciplines’ general research methods and principles and better understand and apply them by bringing together common methodologies and principles. After identifying joint working methods, a design strategy was created in Milan’s Zone 6 region to investigate the results that could be achieved. Solution proposals are compatible with Milan’s economic, social, and environmental reports, and targets were developed. As a result of the study, Nature Based Solutions and Permaculture principles working together showed that they have significant advantages even if they are 10% achievement. The Milan Zone 6 region can gain between 20.45 hectares and 41.10 hectares in green areas and carbon sequestration between 1536.7 t C/ha and 3403 t C/ha annually as a result of the gain. In addition, it can provide gray and black water conversion between 65,955 liters and 131,911 liters per building per year, with permeable areas and rainwater harvesting, by collecting 2,763,800 m3 of water and 135.16 kg to 270.33 kg of organic waste can be recycled. Therefore, the result of the thesis is that while Nature-Based Solutions and Permaculture have individually important solutions, they become much stronger when collaboration. The holistic solutions of Nature-Based Solutions and the ethical and philosophical dimensions of Permaculture have created a more permanent and sustainable solution by significantly feeding each other.
L’urbanizzazione è un fenomeno globale in rapida crescita guidato dall’industrializzazione e dagli sviluppi tecnologici, che porta alla migrazione dalle aree rurali a quelle urbane con conseguenze sia positive che negative. Poiché le recenti crisi globali hanno evidenziato l’importanza della salute, del cibo e della natura, è diventato necessario affrontare gli effetti negativi dell’urbanizzazione e promuovere uno sviluppo urbano sostenibile che dia priorità al rapporto tra società e natura. Le sfide affrontate dalle aree urbane, come il cambiamento climatico, la perdita di biodiversità, l’inquinamento dell’aria e dell’acqua, il pericolo di estinzione delle aree verdi e la disuguaglianza sociale, devono essere risolte in modo sostenibile. Sono state sviluppate soluzioni ecologiche olistiche per affrontare questi problemi, come le soluzioni basate sulla natura e la permacultura. Le soluzioni basate sulla natura sono spesso supportate da attori politici, culturali ed economici che cercano di sviluppare sistemi a vantaggio di molte persone. La permacultura è compatibile con la diffusione di valori sociali ed etici e la consapevolezza della sostenibilità a un pubblico più ampio. Insieme, queste discipline possono svolgere un ruolo cruciale nella creazione di ambienti urbani sostenibili, resilienti e vivibili. Questa tesi mira a indagare se la permacultura e le soluzioni basate sulla natura possono lavorare insieme e determinare i vantaggi della loro collaborazione. Mira inoltre a determinare i metodi e i principi generali di ricerca di queste discipline e a comprenderli e applicarli meglio riunendo metodologie e principi comuni. Dopo aver individuato modalità di lavoro congiunte, è stata creata una strategia progettuale nella zona 6 di Milano per indagare i risultati che si potevano raggiungere. Le proposte di soluzione sono compatibili con i rapporti economici, sociali e ambientali di Milano e sono stati sviluppati obiettivi. Come risultato dello studio, le soluzioni basate sulla natura e i principi della permacultura che lavorano insieme hanno dimostrato di avere vantaggi significativi anche se sono un risultato del 10%. La regione Milano Zona 6 può guadagnare tra 20,45 ettari e 41,10 ettari di aree verdi e sequestro di carbonio tra 1536,7 t C/ha e 3403 t C/ha all’anno come risultato del guadagno. Inoltre, può fornire una conversione di acque grigie e nere tra 65.955 litri e 131.911 litri per edificio all’anno, con aree permeabili e raccolta dell’acqua piovana, raccogliendo 2.763.800 m3 di acqua e riciclando da 135,16 kg a 270,33 kg di rifiuti organici. Pertanto, il risultato della tesi è che mentre le soluzioni basate sulla natura e la permacultura hanno soluzioni individualmente importanti, diventano molto più forti quando collaborano. Le soluzioni olistiche di Nature-Based Solutions e le dimensioni etiche e filosofiche della Permacultura hanno creato una soluzione più permanente e sostenibile alimentandosi a vicenda in modo significativo.

Abstract
Urbanization is a rapidly increasing global phenomenon driven by industrialization and technological developments, leading to migration from rural to urban areas with both positive and negative consequences. As recent global crises have highlighted the importance of health, food, and nature, it has become necessary to address the negative effects of urbanization and promote sustainable urban development that prioritizes the relationship between societies and nature. Challenges faced by urban areas, such as climate change, loss of biodiversity, air and water pollution, the danger of extinction of green areas, and social inequality, must be resolved sustainably.
