Inaugurated the working tables that will make up the Participatory Planning Laboratory of the Masterplan of the Domitio-Flegreo Coast. The document containing strategies for the territorial, environmental and social regeneration of the area between the municipalities of Bacoli, Cancello and Arnone, Carinola, Castel Volturno, Cellole, Falciano del Massico, Francolise, Giugliano in Campania, Mondragone, Monte di Procida, Parete, Pozzuoli, Sessa Aurunca and Villa Literno is entering a new phase.

To celebrate the beginning of the participatory planning workshop experience, the Campania Region has chosen the Castel Volturno Centre for Aggregation and Legality, which has started its activities precisely in conjunction with this occasion, inaugurating the spaces created by the Ministry of the Interior. A symbolic place that will also host the headquarters of the Ente Riserve Volturno, Licola, Falciano, whose president Giovanni Sabatino, together with the mayor of Castel Volturno, Luigi Umberto Petrella, had to open the inaugural conference of the laboratories that will be composed of representatives of the world of Research, Entrepreneurship, Education and Labour. Representatives of the constituting tables took part in the event: Michelangelo Russo, Director of the Department of Architecture of the University of Naples, Giovanni Sgambati, Secretary General of UIL Campania, Annamaria Orso, Head of IPSSART’s School, Teano Cellole and Luigi Traettino, President of Confindustria Caserta.

The tables throughout the month of October, supported by the offices of the Department of Urban Planning and the Government of the Territory and Unitary Planning of the Campania Region, will meet at the operational headquarters of Castel Volturno, to listen and collect interests, needs and aspirations for development of local communities while improving knowledge and participation in decision-making processes on urban policies in progress, including through territorialized events. The indications from the tables will contribute, by the end of the year, to the definition of the Integrated Enhancement Programme which is part of one of the macro-areas of the drafting of the Regional Landscape Plan. A result that seals about two years of intense work and study during which the Campania Region has defined the guidelines and built a climate of trust, between the institutions and the socio-entrepreneurial tissues of the municipalities concerned, collecting projects for about half a billion euros. This work was commented on by the President of the Campania Region, Vincenzo De Luca, who constantly followed the evolution of the Masterplan and wanted to be present at the presentation of the second phase.

The president spoke of the development vision of the Campania Region based on scrupulous checks and analysis, as well as on a good dose of courage and constancy. This strategy is based on three main strategic lines: the redevelopment and enhancement of the ecological and landscape-environmental system, the enhancement of the historical-cultural and agricultural system and the development of sustainable and integrated mobility, which will also transform the more than 70 km of coast into a great sustainable tourist attraction. A political effort to create the conditions to support healthy entrepreneurship with stable employment. An urban and social transformation plan that is based on shared and verifiable priorities, the result of study and comparison. A methodology that President De Luca intends to replicate for the Vesuvius area and the southern area of Salerno. According to Regional Councillor for Urban Planning Bruno Discepolo, product and process innovation is taking place in the Domitia-Fegrea area. In a place where the contrast between degradation and development potential is more evident and jarring, all the tools have been put in place to define strategies to promote territorial, environmental and social regeneration. The Campania Region has entrusted the drafting of a preliminary draft to a professional grouping led by the ‘Land Italia’ study, on which the tables are now called upon to give their contribution. At the end of the action of the tables in collaboration with the Socio-Economic Partnership of the Campania Region, led by Bruno Cesario, the Integrated Programme for the Enhancement of the Domitio-Flegreo Coast will be defined and at that point the Masterplan will enter its third phase, the executive phase.
