Spatial design and environmental sustainability: controlling land consumption in medium-sized city plans, the case of Cerveteri

Today's city, especially the newly formed one, is no longer contained in pre-defined boundaries, but rather unravels according to continuous structures that unite urban and open territory, giving rise to new relationships. Urban Plans are traditionally instruments that define the demand for land transformation by assigning predetermined land and construction entitlement. The contribution will propose the experience carried out in Cerveteri for the drafting of the new General Regulatory Plan: a territorial project, oriented quantitatively and qualitatively in the face of the changing needs of social demand and massive development pressure that has involved its territory.
