STOP THE CONSUMPTION OF LAND

NOT ONLY PLAN BUT ALSO A NEW WAY TO MANAGE

From Istat report, as well as the ratio of the loss of land by the Politecnico di Milano data emerge disturbing and frightening. From 1995 to 2006 the amount of land consumption for residential use, production and infrastructure has been in Italy almost 70 000 hectares per year.

means that, in little more than a decade, has been covered with concrete and asphalt surface as large as the Umbria region and disappears every year an area as large as the entire town of Ravenna.

A small country, Cassinetta Lugagnano in the Province of Milan, has recently placed attention to the dramatic turnaround, both in the scope of urban planning instruments (the Plan Territory Government to Zero Growth) both in the way of administration which is based on involvement in decision-making and sharing of innovative procedures to citizens.

One could argue that it is easy to preserve the area when the dimensions are those who are, people just reach the 1,800 units, and large manufacturing and commercial activities not insist on the municipal territory. But if it is not like the small town is located near the larger metropolitan cities that presses and pushes the boundaries on the land still remained free to download their "incontinence building" - as the Mayor Domenico Finiguerra. Plots more attractive if they fall "in the fertile crescent" of the Lombard plain, especially if the land is so valuable that they have been declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO, and especially if you are on the route to the airport Malpensa, on which rests the possibility of a four-lane highway with all the fanfare of the "capture value" of the outline business and all the equipment needed for subdivisions, shopping centers, industrial warehouses that usually attach themselves to the infrastructure as the hermit crab to pilot fish.

Especially since it is the small municipalities have to deal with the economic resources, with the local finance and choked with the problem of finding resources to meet current spending. And that is why it is the small number of those most vulnerable to the pressures of "res edificatoria. and therefore more exposed to monetization of the area and divert current expenditure on the infrastructure costs, rather than on the achievement of collective services and the green.

Cassinetta Lugagnano's success is based on a clear plan by the Mayor and the participation and involvement of citizens at the stage of preparation.

citizens through meetings and assemblies were placed immediately in front of a clear choice: whether to finance current expenditures with new subdivisions and related infrastructure costs oppure investire sulla finanza locale. La scelta dei cittadini è stata netta ovvero quella di evitare “la svendita” del territorio per fare cassa , accettando anche un aumento di tasse e lavorando piuttosto sul taglio delle spese comunali di rappresentanza , solo sobrietà e rigore amministrativo. I cittadini hanno scelto l’interesse comune e la responsabilità verso il futuro.

Oggi il Comune di Cassinetta è al centro dell’attenzione delle più grandi testate giornalistiche nazionali e dei servizi televisivi di grande ascolto (Report,Ambiente Italia ,Rai Parlamento) e anche della maggiore testata giapponese Asahi Shimbun that he dedicated an article.

Mayor Domenico Finiguerra wanted to respond and please accept our invitation in the Meeting-Discussion of next January 27. How Committee we are happy ... .. and a little 'pride.
