Soil Consumption and Urban Regeneration

The paper investigates the link between soil consumption and urban regeneration, which represents a strategic alternative to it, taking position at the crossroads between right to the city and next-generation urban planning. The recognition of the importance of this environmental matrix for the production of ecosystem services, in this perspective, intersects the economic and social value of sound territorial management that the different institutional levels, also as a result of new participatory processes involving citizens, must ensure for the main purpose of countering multiple situations of marginalization and degradation denoting conditions of poverty.
