"Defending the soil from indiscriminate attacks means defending a also economic resource that is strategic for Italy: the environment, landscape, natural beauty. Defending the soil also means protecting the country from the threat of hydrogeological instability which often has consequences serious, in terms of loss of life, due to the insane  use of territory" (Hon. Gian Luca Galletti Minister of Environment , Land and Sea).

The themes of the soil consumption and hydrogeological instability are increasingly the importance in the issues of environmental sustainability and urban and regional planning. The negative impacts of soil consumption are well known today and it is needed to put more attention to the issue from the political and institutional side. The conference, organized by the Department Sustainability Project and Energy Efficiency of the Architects Order  PPC Rome and province in collaboration with  ISPRA, aims to create an opportunity to know the "Report on soil consumption in Italy".
