Consumo di suolo e matrici della rigenerazione

The article explores the issues of land consumption and regeneration, deeply connected in a phase of ecological transition sensitive to social inclusion. The study moves from the European and constitutional perspective in order to clarify the centrality of soil, a limited resource producing ecosystem services, in the context of a new rationality of territorial and urban planning choices. Specific attention is paid to the application of the strategic method in environmental matters and territorial governance, as well as to the need to ensure public direction in urban regeneration processes. The analysis of regeneration as an alternative to land consumption does not neglect the importance of ensuring adequate incentives and investigates the characteristics of a phenomenon suitable for intercepting the various declinations of sustainability, allowing a reflection on its nature as a tool aimed at reducing multiple situations of marginalisation and degradation.
