The paper discusses strategies for the reorganisation of urban metabolism by means of forms of integrated urban forestation (Fui). The description of a scenario and of some prototype models of integrated urban forestation highlights not only the production capacities but also the numerous environmental services which forestation can offer in a diffuse urban area.
