As it washes it of a volcano the concrete is left over and it consumes ground. It runs fast, cancelling natural atmospheres and spontaneous vegetation, but also agricultural areas. Every day in Lombardy they come urbanizzati 117mila meters squared, an equal surface to approximately seven times public square of the Dome to Milan. The surface that gets lost instead every day in province is of approximately 20mila square meters. They are the data contained in the relationship 2011 on the ground consumption introduced from Legambiente, National Institute of Urban Planning and the Center of search on the ground consumption of Milan. The concrete overflows also the city, always more: the 78 for hundreds of from Milan territory by now are constructed.
We are playing an atmosphere patrimony, says the president of Legambiente Lombardy, Damiano Di Simine. But there is also an economic risk: We lose more precious the natural resource on which great part of the wealth of our region is constructed. To its warning in future it will go worse, because in the Pgt that the Masseroli city council member has flavored with callbacks to the order word will not consume ground, are real forecasts of consumption of the 1,5 for hundreds. It is not a lot in absolute, but for Milan it is, since of free surface of it is remained little. For the director of the Coldiretti Lombardy, Eugene Press, cannot itself be gone ahead thus: As if he is sparissero every day lands of two agricultural companies.
In all the Lombardy, explains the relationship, a quarter of superficial agricultural the productive ones has gone lost. The concrete increases: the surface urbanizzata to Milan is last from the 56,660 hectares of 1999 to the 62,619 of 2007. An increment of 5.958 hectares, more a 10,5 for hundreds in eight years. And in spite of the economic crisis it seems that the construction of new freeways, centers trades them and sheds you never do not stop yourself. Fire-bricks, concrete and asphalt: with all the infrastructures in program to construct to Milan and province, still will arrive some.
Today it is covered from the concrete the 39,7 for hundreds of the territory of from Milan province: the data only apparently is contained since comprises all the municipalities of the Park South, still relatively rich of areas greens. But there are also the peaks in negative. Like that one of Sixth Saint Giovanni, covered from the concrete for the 95,2 for hundreds of its territory. Great taps also to Bresso (asphalted for the 93 for hundreds), to Corsico (86,7). They follow Cologno Monzese with the 82.1 and Pear tree with the 80,3. More in danger, in the panorama of the Lombardic provinces, he is (remaining) the green one brianzolo: the province of Monza and Brianza finds again in fact a urbanizzata surface that, with the 53,2 for hundreds, it exceeds the half of the total.
Legambiente proposes a prescription in order to avoid to continue to fill up of concrete the territory: a law of popular initiative that places small poles introducing, as an example, burdens to cargo of who, being able to re-use areas dismesse of the city, decides instead constructing in open areas. We are a lot interested says the regional city council member to the Urban planning, Daniel Belotti. Which, but, explains that siccome up to now only the 30 for hundreds of the 1,549 Municipalities of the Lombardy have approved of the plan of government of the territory, a norm thus cannot be made quickly. And not it will be able till 31 December 2012, term of the delay to the Municipalities for the approval of the Pgt. Before then it cannot be taken part with some law ad hoc that aids to save the ground from the concrete.
