New awareness for a different challenge in contemporary planning. Marigliano “laboratory city” in the metropolitan area of Naples

Abstract

This contribution aims to return a good practice, recently developed in Marigliano, a municipality of about 30,000 inhabitants, in which a synergic governance has been activated between the urban planning process and resource programming, which make it a laboratory city in the metropolitan area of Naples.
These processes are founded and substantiated, with the new awareness and perspectives between the emerging and central issues for contemporary urban planning, relating to the multi-risk dimension of cities, the proactive contrast to land consumption, the regeneration of the existing city, the enhancement of historical heritage, the protection of agricultural landscapes, the implementation of services in urban areas, etc.
In this changed context, the new Municipal Structural Plan PSC/PUC that the Municipality of Marigliano has equipped itself with (2022), defines sustainable development prospects for the territory in full coherence with the financing lines of the PNRR, embedding regeneration strategies and projects within three Strategic Projects that focus on the role of environmental infrastructures as condensers-providers of services for the city.

Keywords: urban planning, urban policies, regeneration, blue and green infrastructure
