Among applause, joy and much controversy, the Pug began the second half of the way, the next for its approval. You would think that after the effort made to get the yes of the City Council, the rest of the way is downhill. Not so. That will happen in the second and delicate stage, Mr. Franco Selicato has already briefly outlined in his speech at the meeting sponsored by the housing association, on 6 November. We asked the engineer, a professor at the Politecnico di Bari and former city planning commissioner, a more detailed explanation on the middle floors and Pue, urban plans that happen to more general executive Pug.
deeply embittered against those who have portrayed as one who has criticized the Pug and the work of Federico Oliva, the professor states, sometimes with a clarity unusual among professionals, that there is only a Pug very vague project of the city. A set planning will be defined more precisely, however, at the intermediate stage-design, which exists between the approval of the Plan and its implementation. During the same meeting with the cooperative, Selicato stated that the Plan lacks a clear idea of \u200b\u200bthe city that defines its identity. "All this does not mean challenging the plan - said, however, the engineer - and I'm out of any unnecessary controversy that may damage the implementation phase. And I defy anyone to say that this step is easy. "
OFFICE PLAN
According to the engineer, the intended use of areas located in different parts of the territory was decided in an innovative way, through a mechanism of compartments called 'smoothing', by which development rights have been distributed among the owners. Once defined the tasks, we must decide in detail what happens in them. This is work that should be entrusted to the Office of the Plan through the preparation of intermediate floors. This is no easy task, with respect to which there seem to be differences in emphasis within the administration. The mayor Romans, but also Selicato believe that the "second phase" can not be managed by private individuals, but by the public. "I think that there are people prepared to do it, "said the engineer still Selicato. The commissioner Barletta, however, longs for a greater use of outside consultants, if not even the possibility of entrusting entirely to them the office of the Plan, with the mere support of the Technical town. "Yes, you can take advantage of external expertise, but we can not rely completely outside - but says Professor Selicato -. It is imperative that the Office should be entrusted to a public body. "
TIMES
"As for timing of imbalance I never, "says Franco Selicato. During the meeting, the mayor spoke of a year, but the engineer is more cautious. "A year is a time credible, but that it creates expectations in cooperatives and in the citizens and to respect them and not disappoint anyone, you have to work right away. If we start now with a clear idea, you can move in less than a year. " Then he points out: "Everybody forgets that in order to build a simple house, it takes at least three years. Here we are designing an entire city. Beyond the legitimate expectations of those looking for home, he will do everything possible to meet all needs, but certainly not easy. " Finally warns: "Of course, I think there are sites all over the world is pure utopia. In a year, ever hopefully, there will be conditions to make plans and then build. It will take at least a couple of years to locate sites relating to construction, and I say this from experience. I understand the needs and the disappointment of those who expect the house, but we must be realistic and put into account some snag. The fact is you have to compete with the private property to implement the plan forecasts. And if there are individuals who do not want to invest? If someone refuses to give up land? We want the conditions to encourage private construction. "
COOPERATIVES
social housing it is an important part of the city. But which one? "The plan is the size of the demand for social housing. The surfaces are quantified according to demand but it is difficult to say where they are now. " Selicato, however, has concerns: "There are parts that are not built the city, like little child, who has remained a place mono-functional, that is residential. The cities have many functions to be integrated with each other and the plan devised by the city uses variously articulated in the same sectors. In the interim you design just that, but it should be tried here because there is no experience in this area. Here there is no culture and is planning more difficult than the northern cities to start this phase of the plan, which may require more time than ever before. "
PRICES
"I doubt that house prices will fall," says the teacher. Here, where the houses have come to cost from 2 to 3,000 euro per square meter, causing the flight of many citizens in the most common economic neighbors. " The future does not seem at all rosy.
"Prices will more or less the same. According to the dynamics of supply and demand, if there are more houses available prices fall, but I think that a swing to the downside, if there is, it will be very slight. "
COASTS
The engineer, who also contributed to the drafting of a regulation called 'State of the concessions', he replied: "The usability of the coastline is covered by the Plan Coastal, which provides that municipal urban plans must provide for coastal restoration, there are situations where degradation or risk because of coastal erosion does not occur without reason but is caused by human actions.
