the upgrade of that which is already in existence, and the start of urban regeneration processes in order to prevent consumption of non-anthropized land, to
allow construction works to take place on free land only when all dismissed
or under-used land is recovered, and when re-use of areas already compromised has been verified to be impossible. In any case the use of free land
should be linked to real needs; regulating land use through regulatory restrictions and adopting different local taxation systems for the different areas and
uses.
The outcomes of these measures in the various contexts of application
were different, and this demonstrates that there is no solution or single measure able to minimize the sprawl but that the measures to be taken must be
different and applied in different ways, but all within an unambiguous reference framework to be determined by the planning.
The adjustment and implementation of policies aimed at governing urban
transformation must take place at different scales of intervention with a focus
on the large-scale and/or metropolitan scale, because this allows understand,
contextualize, and find solutions to phenomena that occur on a local scale.
Planning plays a key role, especially on a vast or regional scale, since the
processes of urban sprawl affect large areas of land - several municipalities
and provinces mutually adjacent. This scale also enables to address issues
such as pollutant gas emissions, resource management, reduction of land consumption, protection of natural ecosystems, and also enables to implement
welfare policies
17 ; and an integrated approach to urban development policies
is the only key to implementing the European strategy for environmental
sustainability.
