Abstract: | Recent Italian laws mandate the consideration of environmental factors in local plans, especially at the provincial level
of government. The plan for the province of Cremona in northern Italy illustrates the integration of the environment in provincial-level
planning. The Cremona plan was developed through an ecological planning approach that occurred from 1994 to 1998. As part
of this process, the planning team designed an environmental sustainability index. This index was integrated with an environmental
capability analysis. To improve the quality of the Cremona landscape, the planning team developed an ecological network. This
network seeks to weave together the natural areas of the province, especially by connecting provincial parks to regional river
parks throughout Lombardy. The experience of the Cremona provincial plan has implications for environmental management elsewhere
in Italy, Europe, and abroad. |
