1) Preserve urban and rural landscape and environment

2) Promote the sustainable mobility

Two differents issues seem to emerge in the North Italians territories

Trends and scenarios in the land-use

Real estate sector

Commerce and related business

Industrial waste-land

Residential spaces demand and the duel with the nature

Some datas for North Italy(Censimento Istat 2001): between1991-’01 loss of population: - 0,4%;

Volumes for new residential builidings: + 4% (2000-’01);

Number of new residential builidings: + 2,4% (2000-’01);

Number of new home: 106.686 (2001);

Implication on the landscape and natural surface: 1) Loss of biotic surface:

-  hydro-geological disease due to paving ground

-  loss of areas dedicated for growing and leisure

2) Disvalue for landscape framework

Mass scale retail chain

Some data for North Italy (Ministero dell’Industria, 2005):

Supermarket (1981-2004): • Growth of new retail point: +356% (317 only in ’03-’04) • Growth of surface of retail point: +407%

Hyper market (1981-2004): • Growth of new retail point: 172% (18 nuovi insediamenti nel biennio ’03-’04) • Growth of surface of retail point: +209%

Implication on the landscape and natural surface and civis: 1) Paving biotic space

2) Landscape fragmentation

3) Gorwth of mobility needs

4) Corner shop system decline

Industrial waste-land

Pushed by industrial system transformation, delocalization, rilocalization, riorganization

In Europe the Ruhr model has been one of the most successful:

• Eco-system recovery • Preservation and fruition of natural spaces • Reuse of dismissed buildings

Sustainable mobility New scenarios

Some tracks more than 100% (congestion)

Individual mobility: Average time trip: 27 min. Average lenght trip: 13 Km Average speed trip: 29 Km/h

Public mobility: Average time trip: 41 min. Average lenght trip: 16 Km Average speed trip: 24 Km/h

Longevity and ageing of population: new imperatives of fitness & wellness

North Western Italy (Censimenti Istat):

- Population ageing index: 56,17 to 157,56 (1971-2001)

- over 65 per child (under 6) from1,35 to 3,87 (1971-2001)

But: Over 65 people more and more active, with new needs and frontiers

So: Necessary to meet this needs. In the mobility issue:

More mobility opportunities:

  slow down the process of ageing

  favour social interaction and a sense of protection for the nature
