The Territorial Plan of the Province (PTCP) of Naples: the land and its fertile resources" -"Il PTCP di Napoli: il territorio, risorsa fertile"

The process of drawing up a plan for territorial provincial coordination is primarily a process of deep knowledge of the territory and its inhabitants, of confrontation with the institutional and social actors, construction of strategic visions in continuous balance between regulations, expectations of enhancement and development, and economic and environmental sustainability. The question becomes very complex if these operations will relate to an area such as the Province of Naples where a variety of textures, urban fabrics, landscapes and identities are overlapped. An area of intense contradictions, but dense of fertile resources. The Plan for territorial coordination of the Province (PTCP) of Naples has been developed by coordinating of a complex set of actions. These involved not only an articulated response to the different goals introduced by the new regional law of area government and the adaptation to the regulation of the Regional Territorial Plan (PTR) and the regional law L.R. 13/2008 but also the implementation of a series of activities which have supported and enriched the process of drawing up the plan. The complex process of knowledge of the provincial area has been transformed into structure, from which gave rise to the Plan's regulations. The following priority objectives of the Plan, focused on natural heritage, housing, production, education and mobility derives directly from the territory. To spread landscape enhancement throughout the province. The outstanding diversity and beauty of the natural heritage of this area is considered by the plan both a valuable resource to be used by its population and a resource of great attraction to support traditional forms of tourism and again a resource which can enable new activity. The plan in accordance with the European Landscape Convention and the regional guide lines to adapt it to the existing landscape plan, provides for the development of a renewed policy to promote cultural and natural heritage which makes up the landscape. To interweave up the human settlements with a network of natural corridors. To this end, the Plan provides for the establishment of ecological corridors which will play the function of preserving biodiversity and at the same time creating environments where the quality of life is better. These corridors will also ensure a suitable presence of open spaces which will be accessible to each resident. To achieve a balance of the population in the area with a sustainable housing supply. The plan aims to meet the demand for accommodation by allocating sustainable housing and in a supra- provincial perspective. In this regard, the protection and enhancement of the environment and the increasing of housing capacity in terms of quality and quantity must strike the right balance. To ensure that the policy of cohesion addresses those areas of social marginalization and exclusion which are also characterized by urban-building damage. The housing conditions of the provincial area are often a reflection of the differences in existing economic and social disparities. With the aim of bridging this gap, the Plan provides for the development of urban and building renewal policies integrated with social ones in degraded areas. To ensure the production is carried out in harmony with the landscape and environment and promote the employment growth. The Plan intends to treat with particular attention the relationship between physical space and production adding to ex-post impact evaluation, the ex-ante provision of suitable sites and the anticipation of compatible activities. Employment growth, especially for new generations, should be implemented by paying attention to the enhancement of local resources, the attraction of external investments, and the development
