ABSTRACT

The main topic addressed in this degree thesis is the analysis of the development of Italian town planning, by using essentially a diachronic approach. In particular, I've entirely followed the complex evolution of laws, beginning with the first of 1942, to get to the modern regulations given by some Italian Regions. Using this conceptualization, it was possible to highlight the passing from a hierarchic type of planning to a more modern vision, about building ties and cooperation between public bodies. Region Piedmont, in the last ten years, modified her local urban planning law using this concepts, thus giving the possibility to make use of the new "co-pianificazione" (co-working) system.
