Prospettive future. Pianificazione e cultura del progetto nelle green strategies

Abstract

The new perspective for planning wants to build a broad framework of studies, research on the challenges that the cities of the world must face today in order to find new conditions of balance between the need for economic development and the limits of environmental carrying capacity. Until a few decades ago, attention to the environment stopped at verifying the impacts of anthropogenic activities on the territories and city life was one of the causes of these environmental impacts. Today, ecosystem sustainability policies have become the starting point for all development policies equipped with scientific analysis and reliability. Of course, this change has not occurred all over the planet and, as everyone knows, some important national governments no longer intend to recognize the fact that some of the human productive activities are capable of destroying not only the life of cities but of the whole planet.
