Il Pnrr e lo sviluppo sostenibile nel governo del territorio

The National Recovery and Resilience Plan, following the policies of recent decades, identifies the construction sector as the main driver for the recovery of the national economy. However, taking into account that the Plan should also promote the ecological transition of the country, it is necessary to verify whether the simplification measures and reforms envisaged are consistent with a policy declared as oriented to the principle of sustainable development. This paper will first examine the possible meanings of sustainable development in the field of spatial planning and the tools available to ensure equitable land use. Then the analysis will focus on the measures envisaged in the Recovery Plan, including the so called “superbonus”, the planned re-engineering of building procedures and the government’s commitment to adopt a new urban planning law.
