ABSTRACT
In recent years, more and more data has become available about the benefits of green in and around cities. Vegetation helps people to recover faster from illness;this reduces costs of healthcare and improves the patients ' quality of life. In highly urbanized locations, the design of green elements requires special attention. Our paper presents a multidisciplinary study of areas located near the old salt mines and their use by entering in the spa and leisure circuit. Specific components were monitored, like the salted waters quality in lakes and/or springs and the identification of different plant species adapted to high salinity of the soil and able to enrich a green zone. In recent years, the continuous degradation of environmental quality due to factors such as air pollution, noise, chemical compounds, the pandemic state due to COVID-19 and disappearance of natural areas, in combination with lifestyle changes led to the emergence of a growing number of diseases such as different forms of diabetes, cardiovascular and nervous system disorders and cancer.
