description This paper presents the Right_TT research on urban forestry, shifting the approach from a technical and specialised conception, typical of agricultural and engineering sciences, to one that includes complementary qualitative logic. Starting from the critical issues of the ongoing territorial transformations, which have led to a downsizing of the objectives of the Ministerial Forestry Plan across the Italian territory, good practices and pilot projects are highlighted to refine action strategies. The impact of a new forested urban habitat appears, in the long term, to guarantee the survival of the human species and, in the short to medium term, to improve the quality of life, revealing connections between various Sustainable Development Goals: a healthy, democratic forest-city is a more equitable city, more welcoming to other forms and modes of life.   Article info Received: 15/03/2025; Revised: 16/04/2025; Accepted: 20/04/2025
