THE GENERAL URBAN PLAN (PUG): STRATEGIES, LAND USE AND RESILIENCE

Sandra Vecchietti, INU Emilia-Romagna


Soil consumption containment and urban regeneration are the two general strategies that Regional Law 24/2017 assigns to the General Urban Plan (PUG). The identification of a transitional period during which municipalities would have to adapt their urban planning tools to the new law led to the start of the elaboration of numerous PUGs, which develop the new contents defined in the law.

The strategic dimension, largely developed within the Plan, defines in the Strategy for urban and ecological-environmental quality, the policies, objectives and actions to be pursued in the PUG; it allows to guide urban development ensuring…

CLIMATE ACTION SIMULATION

Stefano Armenia, SYDIC – SYSTEM DYNAMICS ITALIAN CHAPTER, Patrizia Lombardi, Turin Polytechnic University, RUS President, Network of Universities for Sustainable Development , Stefano Stanghellini, URBIT President


The Climate Action Simulation event promotes ‘systemic’ education. It aims to develop a better awareness of these dynamics, leading to positions that are coherent with the reality of the phenomena and that can be transferred to climate negotiations. The event is a highly interactive role-playing game that simulates the dynamics of climate negotiations just as it happens in a COP session.

The role-play exercise uses the En-ROADS simulation model (developed by Climate Interactive) to…

THE ROLE OF TERRITORIAL FOUNDATIONS IN CLIMATE TRANSITION PROCESSES

Filippo Magni, Giovanni Litt, Iuav University of Venice


For the near future, climate change will have increasingly negative spatial effects, contributing to the deterioration of the condition and functionality of human and natural systems. There is an urgent need for a change in spatial planning approaches in order to build a true national transition based on climate resilience and climate neutrality approaches.

However, due to a lack of specific design skills, technical knowledge and human resources, many territories find it difficult to build local processes that can really contribute to climate transition.
In order to solve these issues, the role of private…
