Abstract
In the sixties, by denouncing the incompatibility between the unlimited consumption of resources an d the balanced coexistence between human settlements an d natura l processes, the ecologica! issue enters Urban and Regional Planning. As a result of these acquisitions, Urban an d Regional Planning starts an epistemologica! revision by stating the birth of Environmental Planning or, more properly, an environmental dimension of the regulations of the Town an d of the Territory asserts itself. The expansion of the city o n the territory does no t se t the territory against the city anymore: it is included in the territory so much as to give birth to the definition of urbanized or anthropized territory as a reality including together cities and territory. The paper aims at focusing the relationship between soil consumption and rainwater urban management. The case study of Aversa town and its conurbation will allow drawing some generai considerations, useful to i m prove the environmental sustainability of the anthropized territory.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
