“…These contexts, which experienced the development of specific manufacturing, trade, service economies -and sometimes, along part of the country's coastline, also forms of mass tourism -were essentially read in terms of their original socio-economic patterns, their morphologies and settlement situations during the years of growth between the early 1990s and early 2000s (Clementi et al 1996;Lanzani 2003). Only a few scholars have interpreted them in their indissoluble intertwining of settlement and socio-economic aspects over the subsequent 20 years of selective development -with contexts in crisis and contraction, and contexts in dynamic and radical transformation -and even more rarely have they been thought of as a structured and specific 'field' of integrated and contextual political practices and projects, as a 'world' within which to elaborate their own distinctive images of the future (among the few attempts: Viganò 2001;Lanzani et al 2013;Lanzani et al 2016;Viganò et al 2016).…”

“…The second group of studies focuses on the spread of urbanised spaces beyond metropolitan fringes (different from urban sprawl) and their recent transformations and shrinking (Indovina 1990, Clementi et al 1995, Munarin, Tosi 2001, Lanzani 2003, 2011, Bonomi, Abruzzese 2004, Fabian et al 2012, De Rossi 2018, Curci et al 2020). More specific studies can be subdivided according to three areas of focus: land-take dynamics, which strongly affect Italia di mezzo (Crcs 2017, Ispra 2020; unauthorised urbanisation processes, particularly in southern Italy (Zanfi 2013, Curci et al 2017; and hybrid and fragile landscapes and recurrent building materials (Ingersoll 2004, Navarra 2017, Gioffre 2018, Ippolito 2019, expressly within peri-urban spaces (Magnaghi, Fanfani 2010, Mininni 2012) and coastal areas (Mininni 2010, Zanchini, Manigrasso 2017.…”

The Italian debate concerning the relationship between cities and inner areas polarized around a few dichotomous - and somehow simplifying - positions. On the one hand exists the rhetoric addressing the ``villages'', intended as remote places to re-inhabit, escaping from the pandemic. On the other hand is the narrative of the metropolis, envisioned as a place-fulcrum from which to start again -- following the already-known patterns of growth and concentration -- despite the fragilities made explicit by Covid. In order to overcome these juxtaposed approaches, our work wants to shed light on the importance of ``intermediate territories'' intended as priority places to rethink within a new geography of marginality. In Italy, such intermediate territories, named \emph{Italia di mezzo}, occupy half of the national surface and host more than half of the population. Moreover, they embody extremely articulated geography: they include portions of twentieth-century urbanization (such as coastal settlements, industrial districts, various traits of ``città diffusa''), medium-sized cities with different administrative and functional centrality levels, sectors of metropolitan belts and a substantial share of rural areas in plains and hills. Faced with the radical risks and uncertainties that characterize the contemporary condition, it is essential to take care of these territories not only because they urgently need investments aimed at solving forgotten critical issues (from the necessary reconversion of production chains to the impact of climate change). These territories can also play a strategic positive role in the face of crisis phenomena thanks to their characteristics of elasticity and plasticity. If we look at them from a relational point of view - and not only from a topological one - these intermediate territories can play the role of two-sided ``intermediaries'' and ``hinges.'' On the one hand, they can be prepared to provide assistance and support to the inner and less densely populated areas; on the other hand, by taking advantage of their infrastructural and social capital, they can offer decongesting opportunities for most polluted metropolitan areas and more accessible living and working conditions.

“…For an in-depth look at the general Italian situation in terms of sustainability issues, the most known references are the works of Musco [19][20][21], De Gregorio [22] and Lanzani [23][24][25]; however, the literature in this field is vast [26][27][28][29][30][31]. Aside from the general studies, some research presents a systematic review of the regeneration of minor fabric in Italy, which is fundamental to the research described here [29,32,33].…”

Spread Is Better: Suitability for Climate Neutrality of Italian Urban Systems

In light of the challenges required by the European Green Deal policies concerning the achievement of climate neutrality by 2050, this paper analyses the suitability of different Italian urban systems for energy consumption and CO2 emission reduction. In anthropised territories, there are strong relationships between energy consumption, climate-changing emissions and settlement patterns. Lands considered low could increase their rating because they have far greater environmental, energy and land resources than more pivotal ones. After an Italian-scale overview of the ecosystem capacities, this paper develops a detailed study of three exemplary areas: the northeast, the northwest, and the central-west coast. The analysis uses Burkhard’s matrix for ecosystem values and the energy consumption 2021 report of the National Energy Authority. The first finding is that the northeast region, characterised by spread and rarefied urbanisation, has a peculiar suitability for climate neutrality. In the results, spread territories perform much better than centralised ones. The coexistence of little urban cores, space for vegetation and a widespread water network promotes synergies for enhancing an ecosystem approach to land design.
