Summary/Abstract: The actual urban material and energetic metabolism is a concept that considers both the mutation and the exchange of substances in an urban body, similar to both the biological metabolism and energetic metabolism, as information expression. Landscape planning, urban planning and architecture confer shape to information, in the sense of information emission, reception, exchange and generation. The energetic metabolism level forces us to understand energy and control the living spaces of the human informational network, connected through the human factor and the plant factor, which becomes a major element in the metabolic-urban relation between man and city.
