M. Demichelis, The digital evolution of urban planning and land-use management in Italy

The article analyses the evolution of digital urban planning and land-use management in Italy. European rules on the implementation of common data spaces for the Green Deal require Member States to share geographical and spatial data across national borders. According to the European and national regulations, ICT tools must be interoperable to guarantee accessibility and data-quality pursuing the right to good administration (art. 41 ECHR). This can be achieved starting from the implementation of the INSPIRE Directive (2007/02/EC), which requires Member States to create the National Geoportal as an API interface for geographic and territorial data to be made available to all levels of government. The article will focus on the creation of a common knowledge base adequate for land-use management in Italy, thus ensuring the validity of urban planning tools to pursue an effective sustainable development. National provisions on land-use management require public administrations to implement urban regeneration actions and to limit soil consumption. In this field, temporary uses might permit to reuse abandoned areas, also with the collaboration of citizens through the implementation of ICT tools.
