A survey of landscape planning in Italy, where application is utopia. An updated proposal for a shared landscape analysis model
Landscape is known to be an across-the-board issue. Italy is one of the 14 signatories of European Landscape Convention and has enacted a specific law (Urbani Code) devoted to regulating landscape planning and management. Despite this, landscape planning in Italy is far from being a clearly defined field based on standardized and shared procedures. Only a small fraction of the Landscape Plans has so far been completed and they tend to be completely unrelated to each other.
