In recent years, new \u2018performance based\u2019 approaches that integrate ecosystem services (ES) provided via green infrastructure (GI) into traditional spatial planning models have been proven to reach a higher level of environmental performance, necessary to improve quality of life for all people. In Italy, there are no mandatory planning instruments to design and manage GI, which still remains a component of the traditional land-use plan. Here, the development of urban green spaces (UGS) based on \u2018quantitative assessment\u2019 is not suitable for guaranteeing the supply of ES. In addition, the scarcity of financial resources to develop \u2018green standards\u2019, as prescribed in the land-use plan to strategically design the GI, is an issue for most Italian public administrations. The paper provides the results of a test case conducted in a public green area of the city of Ancona, where the experimentation of a diversified maintenance strategy of an urban lawn significantly reduced the management cost and improved the environmental performance of green spaces. The identification of a unified management strategy to be applied to all the public UGS can help to achieve better results in support of sustainability, to redesign the continuity of GI and to develop strategies for future urban green master plans.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/su14074243","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,3]],"date-time":"2022-04-03T06:04:01Z","timestamp":1648965841000},"page":"4243","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":37,"title":["Sustainable Management Practices for Urban Green Spaces to Support Green Infrastructure: An Italian Case Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Monica","family":"Pantaloni","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agricultural, Food, and Environmental Sciences, Polytechnic University of Marche, 60131 Ancona, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3705-5251","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Giovanni","family":"Marinelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Materials, Environmental Sciences and Urban Planning, Polytechnic University of Marche, 60131 Ancona, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rodolfo","family":"Santilocchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agricultural, Food, and Environmental Sciences, Polytechnic University of Marche, 60131 Ancona, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5783-9091","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alberto","family":"Minelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agricultural and Food Sciences, Alma Mater Studiorum, University of Bologna, 40127 Bologna, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3280-1876","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Davide","family":"Neri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agricultural, Food, and Environmental Sciences, Polytechnic University of Marche, 60131 Ancona, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"WECD (1987).
