Unione Europea e pianificazione spaziale

Starting from the nineties of the XX century UE has gradually entered the national territorial politics of member states. Community directives concern the infrastructures, the technologies, the market of the job, the environment, the social integration, the economy; every member state implements them in the national laws and, with the funds allocated by the UE, supports projects of growth and development in every sector. The culture of the European financing proceeds very slowly in Italy, infact it is the last in the list of the expense among the greatest state recipients of the continental financings, behind Poland, Germany, France and Spain, because it has used only the 1 - 2% of 42,7 appropriated million. The paper aims to try a synthesis about the influence of these UE decisions on the Italian physical planning system and their strength support to the economic, social and, in particular, to the urban and territorial transformation and development.
