An Estimate of Land Take in Municipal Planning of the Campania Region

The issue of land take is characterized by analytical complexity and legislative effectiveness. So, in dealing with this question, several aspects have to be evaluated. This project aims at a quantitative assessment of the municipal urban planning in terms of land take, in the context of the Campania region. To make this, the Master Plans of many municipalities are examined. Therefore, the housing needs outlined in the municipal Plans are compared with the trends in population growth. Through this analysis, the municipalities are classified into three groups: virtuous municipalities, growing municipalities e uncontrolled municipalities. Moreover, a quantitative analysis of urban planning standards is taken into account. Then, by describing the obtained results, this work tries to define a synoptic view of municipal planning in Campania region, its critical points and the contrasting actions that can be implemented in regional and national legislations.
