Este trabajo presenta los resultados de una investigación en la que se destaca el gran número y variedad de conflictos relacionados con las transformaciones territoriales que hoy existen en el Véneto. El elevado número de conflictos y comités activos indica un interés constante por las cuestiones medioambientales y además pone de relieve el importante rol que han jugado las dinámicas de desarrollo y uso del territorio -surgidas en esta región en las últimas décadas- en el fenómeno que ahora se va manifestando. Esta conflictividad se debe interpretar no sólo como la demanda de los ciudadanos para participar y estar más implicados en los procesos de transformación territorial -que repercuten directamente en ellos y en la calidad de vida-, sino también como su declarada falta de confianza en una clase política a menudo incapaz de manejar los conflictos y por tanto «débil» para planificar y hacerse cargo de situaciones conflictivas. ; Aquest treball presenta els resultats d'una investigació en què s'ha destacat el gran nombre i varietat de conflictes relacionats amb les transformacions territorials que existeixen avui dia a la regió del Véneto. La quantitat de conflictes i d'associacions actives demostra l'interès constant per les qüestions mediambientals i també posa en relleu el paper central que han jugat les dinàmiques de desenvolupament i ús del territori -presents a la regió en les últimes dècades- en el fenomen que ara s'està manifestant. Els conflictes s'han d'interpretar no tan sols com a resultat de la demanda dels ciutadans per participar i influir més en els processos de transformació territorial -que hi repercuteixen directament i en la qualitat de vida-, sinó també com a resultat de la seva declarada falta de confiança en una classe política sovint incapaç de gestionar els conflictes i per tant «feble» per planificar i fer-se càrrec de situacions conflictives. ; L'article évalue les résultats de la recherche à travers laquelle ont été mis en évidence le nombre et les formes de conflits territoriaux actuels dans la région de la Vénétie. Le nombre de conflits et d'associations actives montre un intérêt constant concernant les questions environnementales, et met en évidence la manière dont la dynamique de l'aménagement du territoire et de l'utilisation des terres - produites dans la région de la Vénétie lors des dernières décennies - ont joué un rôle important dans le phénomène qui se manifeste aujourd'hui. Le conflit doit être lu comme une demande de participation, d'implication dans les processus territoriaux qui ont un impact direct sur les citoyens et la qualité de vie. Il est également une déclaration de manque de confiance envers une classe politique qui a perdu progressivement sa capacité à gérer les conflits. ; This paper shows the results of a research project on territorial conflicts in the Veneto region. The research describes the various types of conflict connected with territorial transformations. The number of conflicts and active committees suggests a lifelong interest in environmental issues as well as highlighting the significant role that land development and land use dynamics - which have occurred in the Veneto region in recent decades - are playing in this new phenomenon. Conflicts should be interpreted not only as a public demand for more participation and involvement in territorial processes that have a direct impact on them and their standard of living, but also as a self-professed lack of confidence in a political class that has gradually reduced the capacity for political representation.

The essay explores the phenomenon of low-density city. It is divided into three main parts in which are described the characters, the changes and the forms of the phenomenon in different contexts. In the first part are highlighted character and evolution of the phenomenon in several European and North American contexts, while the second describes the transformation and evolution of a specific context: the territorial system of the central Veneto region. It is a particular example of sprawl occurred in the last forty years that a profound changes in physical, morphological and socio-economic characteristics of the area. In the third part of the essay some examples of policy and planning tools for containing the land consumption and resources in a sustainable way. ; Il saggio indaga il fenomeno della città a bassa densità. Si articola in tre parti principali nelle quali si declinano i caratteri, le evoluzioni, le forme assunte a seconda dei diversi contesti considerati dai fenomeni di dispersione insediativa ma anche alcune misure di contenimento della crescita dispersa. Nella prima parte vengono messi in evidenza caratteri ed evoluzioni del fenomeno in diversi contesti europei e nord americani; nella seconda viene descritto nella sua trasformazione ed evoluzione un contesto peculiare, il sistema disperso del Veneto centrale: area che ha registrato nell'arco di quarant'anni profonde trasformazioni di carattere fisico, morfologico e socio-economico, che sono alla base del modello territoriale stratificatosi; nella terza si riportano alcuni esempi di politiche ed interventi di pianificazione finalizzati al contenimento della dispersione urbana in un'ottica di contenimento del consumo di suolo e delle risorse e di sostenibilità.

In this paper we describe and analyze an Italian case of urban sprawl and its urban growth for understanding the development of a "metropolitan sprawled system". The portion of Veneto Region that is part of our case study cover about 3700 square km, for a total of 145 municipalities. The manifestations of physical and morphological sprawl came as a result of specific cultural and political situations and economic development, such as rising incomes, and were also facilitated by the local topography. The most important changes occurred in this area over the past 30 years, starting from the 1970's: between 1970 and 1990, the population increased somewhat, but the urbanized and developed land area increased significantly. The main aim of our paper is to find out if low-density development patterns are more expensive and if local public spending is influenced by different urban forms expansions. We measure sprawl with some indicators suggesting in the literature such as urban density, population density and the territorial fragmentation. Data for the economic analysis come from local balance sheets of 145 municipalities for the year 2007. In particular, we collect the costs of the main public services sustained by the municipalities such as public transport, road and street maintenance, waste management, and water and sewer services. Adopting regression analysis, we estimate the impact of urban sprawl on different current expenditures, controlling for other variables such as local taxes paid by citizens, central government aids, territory characteristics, and more others. We find that low density development patterns are in general more expensive, in particular when municipalities have to provide education services, solid waste collection and other environmental and urban management services. Our analysis wants to highlight the threats pose by sprawl in terms of urban sustainable development patterns and to put in evidence the costs of an unbalanced growth in order to let public government to re-orient their policies versus the containment of the urban growth process.
