Abstract

The paper investigates a particular phenomenon of the industrialization of Southern Italy, starting from the second post-war period, and, in particular, the unsolved relationship between some large industrial areas and the territories of the medium and small cities on which such productive “plates” have been installed. The town planning policies and instruments with which the industrialization of Southern Italy was planned, on the contrary, foresaw a strong integration between urban fabric and industrial agglomerations. Through the case study of the province of Caserta, the research illustrated by the paper investigates, first of all, the policies that supported this process of industrialization and what the territorial effects of this phenomenon were. Next, the paper illustrates the method of knowledge and mapping of the territory of the case study of the industrial development area of Caserta. The data will be collected in a GIS platform that will return the following condition that is nowadays not available: analytical maps of the brownfield areas and the identification of the areas still intact, agricultural or green areas, urban areas and infrastructures, which trace a cognitive framework addressed to the project in which it will possible to experiment some possible eco-innovative and nature-based solutions.

Highlights

  • The territorial results of the planned industrialization of the territories and, of the geographies of the soils in the post-war period have been the subject of varied studies in the fields of politics, economics, history and urban knowledge

  • The region [24] (in a post-metropolitan model, according to the geographer Edward Soja, the urban region is not clearly round nor city-commuted; it is characterized by new density gradients, transforming the relationships between the outer areas and metropolitan cores as an accelerated re-organization and restructuring of the geography of movements that define the spatiality of human societies [24]), which welcomed the urban territorial plan devised by the engineering company Teknè [6] and the ASI Caserta archive, has gradually changed into a mixture that could be metaphorically identified with the image of oil poured into water; it is a combination of territorial facts without amalgam, indifferent to each other even when they come into contact

  • The focus area with the industrial agglomeration of North Volturno has an extension of 6.2 km2 and includes the entire ASI area, which extends to the municipality of Pignataro

Summary

Introduction

The territorial results of the planned industrialization of the territories and, of the geographies of the soils in the post-war period have been the subject of varied studies in the fields of politics, economics, history and urban knowledge. For a historical reading of the phenomenon [11,12,13,14] are useful) This is a multidisciplinary reflection that, viewed from the perspective of the planning of contemporary territories and critical economic and social issues, offers a framework in which it is possible to provide an unprecedented reading that is precise and technically relevant, while being aimed at rethinking the generative elements of the urban project for these territorial areas. It is aimed at reading the industrial phenomenon set in motion by specific policies from the 1960s for the South of Italy, with the Sustainability 2021, 13, 6351. A georeferenced mapping has been defined that contains the main critical territorial issues in terms of land use, use destinations, infrastructure, explaining data, and “dimensions” of the territorial issues that have emerged
