Regional plans such as the Plan for the Mezzogiorno have made possible the development of centres like Naples and Palermo, but migration from rural areas and small communities to the more developed centres in the north and middle of the country - Milan, Turin, Rome, Genoa and Venice - continues.

The Government has recently brought in a new tax on profits realized on land development and has tabled a bill in Parliament which would bring land earmarked for development or redevelopment into community ownership. In addition, the Government has announced proposals for new regulations on taxes on development projects, and also measures which would enable local authorities to acquire land at prices exempt from tax.
