[Flaptekst]: For a long time, the theme of soil as matter, not as territory has been the quasi exclusive subject of agriculture, geography and soil science. Only in the last few decades, due to a rapidly growing awareness of climate change, has soil increasingly come into focus in urban design, in particular as a matter that can also provide ecosystem services in urban environments. The editors of OASE 110 believe that soils, although degraded and fragmented, call to be looked upon with a new gaze. They should be rearticulated in a new project aimed at the construction of a shared, productive and inhabited nature, containing different elements of urbanity and offering at the same time a more resilient and sustainable environment for all. Inspired by Bernardo Secchis 1986 text Progetto di Suolo, this issue of OASE makes a critical analysis of how soil as an intermediary package that connects surface and subsurface can further connect to the practices of urbanism and urban design, and how it can guide those practices in exploring new agendas.[Promotie]: > This issue of OASE makes a critical analysis of how soil connects to urban planning and urban design, and how it can adjust those practices in exploring new agendas
