Abstract
Planning and managing urban and periurban green require the support of specific
instruments, together with effective policies and ad hoc implementation measures.
Despite the heterogeneity among Italian regions with regards to land planning
legislations, there are few specific instruments that municipalities can adopt to
manage and/or plan urban and periurban infrastructures with the attention required.
The Green Master Plan, for example, containing a strategic middle-long term vision of
the green system, or the Green Regulation document, addressing the correct design,
maintainance and use of public and/or private green areas. The Green Census is
another important instrument to build a solid - and possibly regularly updated -
knowledge base about the quantity, typology and status of urban green components
(mostly trees). Last but not least, the identification and formal approval of a local
Ecological Network plays a crucial role to recognize a network of interconnected
valuable green areas in order to maximize their social and environmental benefits to
urban communities.
