Proposals to rebuild Italy: a model of public debate to carry out the infrastructures

The essay "Projecting for tomorrow" provides useful input to build a simple and concrete methodology to face the public debate established by the law on the civil and industrial infrastructures. A reflection aimed to contribute to overcome the NIMBY syndrome and its negative effects on the Country's development, especially now that the "Recovery Fund" imposes rapid times and precise obligations in order to enjoy the resources that will be made available by the European Union.

The book, wrote by the publisher Ilaria Catastini and  Stefano Laporta, President of ISPRA and of the Council of Public Research Bodies - with the preface of Professor Luigi Balestra,  professor of civil law at the University of Bologna and Vice President of the Presidency Council of the Court of Auditors - proposes some methodological ideas to improve the processes of involvement, guarantee the transparency of the comparison, make decision-making processes more objective, even with the use of digital communication, especially in a period characterized by social distancing due to Covid-19.
