Italy is the European Nation with the highest rate of soil consumption which produce an irreversible loss of resources and development opportunities. Unfortunately the municipalities often increase the use of soil to have extra revenue to be used for administrative cost management.

The Municipality of Rivalta di Torino is proving that is possible to get out of the dependence of manufacturing costs with virtuous practices with different measures to reduce waste and increasing energy efficiency of the buildings, moving money from current spending to investment spending.

The conference will present the procedures and the results of this measures as a input for the debate with  administrators, engineers and scholars and the future new law on soil consumption to be discussed in Parliament.
