The Landscape Planning and the Green Infrastructure in Campania Region

Abstract

In the document Verso il piano paesaggistico regionale 4.0 (Campania Region, Verso il piano paesaggistico regionale 4.0. Available at http://regione.campania.it/assets/documents/2016-11-versoppr-ver1.pdf, 2016) in the context of the institutional agreement between the Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities and Campania Region, it is clarified in the premise that the Cultural Heritage and Landscape Code requires the drafting of the regional landscape plan (PPR), as an organic landscape planning tool extended to the whole Region. The PPR does not give indications of mere protection of landscape assets but, most importantly, defines directives regarding their enhancement, not limited to specific areas and objects. The PPR envisages extending general indications on various and specific assets, from the ones regarding urban areas to the ones regarding agricultural areas and infrastructures, differentiating them for the different territorial areas, based on the overall values of the regional landscape, even overcoming and modifying obsolete constraints. The landscape regional plan (PPR) also has a dynamic role through the possibility to design environmental redevelopment projects aimed at regaining lost landscapes and recreating new landscapes.

The Domitio-Flegreo Coastal Masterplan represents the first regional landscape regeneration project, and green infrastructures become the effective tool for restoring degraded ecosystems.
