by Eleonora Anello"Casa sostenibile casa" (“Home sustainable home”): this is the name of a project, sponsored by the Municipality of Urbania (Italy), aimed to share town-planning solutions that can improve cities environment (according to the new directives issued by the European Parliament). The project started in September 2007, with an expo dedicated to “eco-sustainable housing", then repeated every two years. According to organizers, "Casa sostenibile casa" «acts as a strong support to the advancement of a town-planning program operating in the present while thinking to "future town"». As a matter of fact, it is a tool of training, information and participation that focuses on spreading sustainable town-planning, particularly as far as quality of living, respect for environmental values and requalification are concerned.
Promotional stuff of the environmental campaign "Casa sostenibile casa” is easily recognizable, thanks to the evocative image that has become the icon of all related events. Not only posters and brochures: kits for saving water and energy-saving light bulbs have also been distributed to the participants of the conferences.
For the mayor Luca Bellocchi the environmental purposes fuse with the consciousness of the educational function of public communication. «The project, in addition to the purely technical aspects, aims to a new culture of living and building –he asserts- in our times, when materiality of everyday life dominates everything, the cultural orientation given by a government plays an undeniable role and must be exercised in all spheres of Community’s social life».
Another purpose of the initiative is to involve academic and professionals sectors to organize events that spread the culture of green building.
The next date is Saturday 21st March 2009 at 9.45 in Urbania, for the eighth conference session entitled "Towards urban requalification". After the greetings by the mayor and the introduction by architect Luca Storoni (president of the provincial executive of the Architects and manager of the Muncipality of Urbania), speakers will be architect Aldo Loris Rossi, design professor at the University "Federico II" of Naples, and engineer Alberto Corliano, town-planning professor at the University of Bologna. The moderator will be engineer Mauro Moretti (Municipality of Pesaro).
Town councilor Gianni Talozzi shows satisfaction: «the diffusion of green building practices is, for our territory, a tool to get out of the economic crisis, already announced few years ago, when we decided to launch this project. So we aspire to develop town-planning tools and to update the professional structures and the companies by taking advantage of high-level experts».
