The territory of Lecce has inherited from the General Regulatory Plan (PRG) of the 1980s and from higher-level planning provisions developed since the 1970s a series of large monofunctional areas designated for productive activities and services.

As part of the scientific consultancy provided by the Department of Architecture and Urban Studies (DAStU) at Politecnico di Milano to support the preparation of the new General Urban Plan (PUG) for the Municipality of Lecce, these planning provisions have been reconceptualised and incorporated into a dedicated strategy entitled “The Provincial Capital City” (La città capoluogo). The strategy seeks to bring together, within a new territorial configuration, the various isolated settlements that emerged and developed in agricultural areas, disconnected from the urban centre. Most of the unrealised building and infrastructure provisions that conflicted with the strategic objectives of the PUG—including landscape protection, the reduction of land take, and consistency with the morphology and historical evolution of the urban structure—have been removed, redesigned, or relocated.

Il territorio di Lecce eredita dal PRG degli anni Ottanta e da previsioni sovraordinate concepite a partire dagli anni Settanta una dotazione di grandi aree monofunzionali, con destinazione produttiva e a servizi, esterne alla città e al sistema tangenziale, in parte realizzate e in parte rimaste sulla carta. Nell’ambito della consulenza scientifica svolta dal DAStU del Politecnico di Milano per il supporto alla redazione del nuovo Piano Urbanistico Generale del Comune di Lecce, tali previsioni sono state riconcettualizzate e trattate in una dedicata strategia denominata “La città capoluogo” che si propone di ricomporre entro una nuova figura territoriale i diversi insediamenti decontestualizzati, nati e sviluppatesi in ambito agricolo, e scollegati dal centro urbano. La gran parte delle previsioni edificatorie e infrastrutturali non attuate e in contrasto con gli obiettivi strategici del PUG (tutela del paesaggio, riduzione del consumo di suolo, coerenza con la morfologia e l’evoluzione della struttura urbana), è stata stralciata, ridisegnata e ricollocata, puntando a rafforzare le relazioni con il sistema infrastrutturale esistente, la multifunzionalità e la sostenibilità ambientale dei nuovi insediamenti.

Abstract
The territory of Lecce has inherited from the General Regulatory Plan (PRG) of the 1980s and from higher-level planning provisions developed since the 1970s a series of large monofunctional areas designated for productive activities and services. Located outside the city and beyond the ring-road system, these areas have been partially developed, while others have remained unrealised. As part of the scientific consultancy provided by the Department of Architecture and Urban Studies (DAStU) at Politecnico di Milano to support the preparation of the new General Urban Plan (PUG) for the Municipality of Lecce, these planning provisions have been reconceptualised and incorporated into a dedicated strategy entitled “The Provincial Capital City” (La città capoluogo). The strategy seeks to bring together, within a new territorial configuration, the various isolated settlements that emerged and developed in agricultural areas, disconnected from the urban centre. Most of the unrealised building and infrastructure provisions that conflicted with the strategic objectives of the PUG—including landscape protection, the reduction of land take, and consistency with the morphology and historical evolution of the urban structure—have been removed, redesigned, or relocated. The resulting approach aims to strengthen connections with the existing infrastructure network while promoting multifunctionality and the environmental sustainability of new developments.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
