C. Perrone; I. Zetti (2010). Il valore della terra. Teoria e applicazioni per il dimensionamento della pianificazione territoriale. Milano: Franco Angeli.
Today, spatial planning must address the damage caused by unsustainable development, which has depleted our vital resources. This book proposes a change of course, suggesting that only by recognising our territorial heritage we can ensure the sustainability of life and the environment.
The book is divided into two complementary sections. The first section provides a critical analysis that explores the limitations of current economic models and moves beyond traditional urban ‘scaling’, proposing innovative perspectives on the processes of territorial transformation. The second section focuses on operational solutions, presenting a series of concrete approaches and intervention strategies to translate theory into more effective and resilient territorial governance practices.
This multidisciplinary text is intended for individuals seeking to transition from emergency management to designing a sustainable future, in which land is valued for its intrinsic worth rather than merely as a surface upon which to build.
