Land and flood protection: A strategic planning experience in Franciacorta (Lombardy, Italy)
Chapter
Publication Date:

Abstract:
The contribution proposes a governance approach on strategic spatial planning
devoted to land protection. The case study involves 22 municipalities located in
Franciacorta (about 200,000 inhabitants and 300sq. km), which is also an important
wine-area in northern Italy. It is a story of partial failure that makes evidence of the difficulties
of engagement processes on land and flood protection that need interinstitutional
approaches and collaborative attitudes among municipalities to reach more sustainable land-use practices and high quality of life for their citizens. The study
underlines that strong institutions play a fundamental role to lead communities and
their transformation capacity to use appropriate and inclusive governance mechanisms
in transition territories.
