some ideas for the new variant of the Master Plan



Recentemente il Consiglio Comunale di Castelnuovo ha visto parte dei consiglieri di maggioranza insieme con i consiglieri dell'opposizione, uniti nel deliberare la revoca della Variante al PRG, che era stata adottata da questa Amministrazione ed era ad un passo dall'essere inoltrata alla Regione per la sua definitiva approvazione o.... bocciatura.
Lo scrivente, in vari articoli, ha sempre denunciato l'inadeguatezza complessiva dell'elaborato dell'architetto Migliaccio anche attraverso la presentazione di puntuali “osservazioni”, come presidente protempore del locale gruppo di ”Fare Verde”. Osservazioni, regolarmente respinte dalla maggioranza.
Finalmente, dal Sindaco, in primis, seguito via via da altri consiglieri più o meno convinti, è stato riconosciuto quanto da years they were repeated from the ranks of the opposition from environmental NGOs and local: this version was a real shame!
Along with the withdrawal of the variant, the City Council, contextualization, pledged to get to work immediately to reach, as soon as possible, to define a new draft version.
What I write below, is intended as a contribution to the discussion which I hope will open, not only among the political parties and environmental groups but with the widest possible participation of citizens, to discuss the visions and solutions, which will decide Castelnuovo's future in the coming decades. ***

man interferes with the environment mainly through the construction of houses and roads.
Each territory for its geomorphological features has its own index of environmental sustainability, beyond which there is an irreversible deterioration of ecological conditions and consequently the living conditions of the inhabitants of the territory.
That 's what environmentalists call "ecological footprint".
So before you go to work for a new version should check What is the index of "ecological footprint" joined by Castelnuovo di Porto: there is a limit beyond which you can not go and at which it is necessary to minimize new residential buildings and think, rather, to improve services.
Just to be clear, I think the municipal area that revolves around the Old City and the Flaminia, has reached an index of ecological footprint such as to prohibit any further expansion of housing. Quite different, however, the situation of the municipality on the other side of the Tiber, which offers great opportunities for building projects, housing or not.
say no in politics is always difficult, even more so in this area where it is still widespread belief among villagers that have a piece of land is equivalent to having the right to build on it. The next election season, politicians, local mayors and candidates should avoid the temptation to collect qualche voto in più, solleticando interessi individuali, a scapito degli interessi generali.
Occorre cambiare il modo di amministrare, che non può non avere come presupposto la partecipazione dei cittadini al governo delle trasformazioni, in una nuova ottica di trasparenza nelle scelte. L'implementazione del processo di Agenda 21 avrebbe dovuto essere lo strumento principe per ottenere questi risultati, ma l'attuale Amministrazione ha dato ampia dimostrazione di non avere la cultura necessaria per avviare e portare avanti tale processo, che, purtroppo, sembra essere naufragato miseramente, alle prime battute, nella disinformazione generale.
L’attenzione alle tematiche ambientali non può essere relegata solo all’interno delle aree protette ma qualsiasi progetto del territorio, qual’è anche una Variante al Piano Regolatore, deve farsi carico delle esigenze di salvaguardia dell’ambiente.
Un viaggio in auto lungo la strada Montefiore, che porta alla frazione di Pontestorto, è uno scorrere continuo di paesaggi mozzafiato e scorci mutevoli fra colline e vallate. Sapremo conservare tutto questo anche per i nostri figli?
Nell’immediato dopoguerra Castelnuovo contava circa 1500 abitanti, oggi ne conta oltre 8000, con una proliferazione di lottizzazioni periferiche, lontane dal centro storico, ed una disseminazione di costruzioni unifamiliari sul territorio che danno, purtroppo, a Castelnuovo il primato, fra i comuni circostanti, per “consumo” of land per capita.
In line with the need for environmental protection, a Master Plan should encourage the concentration of masses, as this reduces the consumption of soil and minimizes the cost of infrastructure works and a network of municipal services (school buses, garbage collection etc.).
The facilities on the move and for moments of socialization have remained virtually the same as when Castelnuovo had 1500 inhabitants lack adequate roads, parking lots, meeting spaces open and closed, such as a theater town, worthy of a population increasingly characterized by a strong demand for participation in cultural and social life of the city.
Childhood and the boys are, then completely ignored by the urban organization of Castelnuovo. Lack gardens and parks. Lacking, especially in residential areas equipped green, including, for example, soccer fields, can be enjoyed by our children because within walking distance from their homes.
To meet the demands of social life of our community, given the urban situation that has been created over the years, it is necessary to initiate actions to transform Castelnuovo in a common multi-center, where in addition to two other urban centers are designed to become the local social catalysts: the urban center and the city center Pontestorto Flaminia. The center
storico, dopo il recupero della Rocca e del palazzetto Paradisi, dovrà essere completato dalla sistemazione della piazza Vittorio Veneto con la costruzione di portici che chiudano il lato nord. La Rocca mi piacerebbe vederla sede di scuole di formazione per l’artigianato artistico (propedeutiche alla nascita di botteghe artigianali nel centro storico). Il palazzetto Paradisi invece lo immagino come sede prestigiosa della biblioteca comunale con sale di lettura, sale multimediali, sale per mostre ed esposizioni. Il Comune, troverebbe migliore collocazione nel bel palazzo, oggi sede della scuola elementare, più capiente del palazzetto Paradisi, attuale sua sede.
Infine, in località Monte La Pera (nei pressi del “Pallone”) you can build the new school campus with the middle school, elementary school and kindergarten. Here you can find also home to a theater, which eventually would give an answer to a felt need for space for cultural, political and playful now completely missing, can not be considered that the squalid "multi-purpose room, close to the Seniors Centre.
In the former sports field, on a multistorey car park, a shopping center gravitating around a tunnel would also act as an indoor social space. The village
Flaminia, would be formed by deflecting the Flaminia and freeing the urban area, ranging from "pine" at the fork to Via Roma, traffic flow che oggi la rende inagibile e pericolosa per i pedoni. La creazione di marciapiedi, lo spostamento della stazione di servizio e la demolizione della palazzina oggi occupata dai “Volontari del Soccorso”(a cui potrebbe essere trovata, agevolmente, un'altra sede ndr.), creerebbe una zona commerciale ed uno spazio sociale godibili dai cittadini abitanti in zona e nei centri residenziali vicini. Sarebbe percorsa solo dal traffico locale in quanto anche il traffico verso la Tiberina e che oggi si incanale su via Roma, potrebbe essere dirottato su una strada, parzialmente esistente, che partendo dalle prossimità del Centro Commerciale Castelnuovo, congiungerebbe la Flaminia con la strada Montefiore, confluendovi all’altezza del Monte La Pera.
Il centro urbano Pontestorto dovrebbe essere un'altra parte qualificante della nuova Variante per Castelnuovo. Infatti a fronte del prevedibile ed auspicabile sviluppo economico e sociale del territorio, che verrà innescato dalla prossima apertura del casello autostradale, si dovrà pianificare uno sviluppo urbanistico integrato di questa frazione che dovrebbe gravitare intorno all'area dell'attuale campo sportivo, destinata a diventare una grande piazza con giardino, che raccorderà l'attuale abitato con la nuova zona di espansione urbanistica, che si dovrebbe sviluppare verso Colle del Fagiano e Colle Verde. La costruzione di un cimitero e di una scuola (materna, elementare e media) daranno, quindi, a Pontestorto una propria fisionomia che from amorphous and degraded village of Castelnuovo device led him to be a thriving and modern city center.
This would give vent to such request for private residential housing and public housing pursuing, however, the logic of concentrating the settlements while protecting the integrity of the environment by limiting the consumption of agricultural land. A
Pontestorto also in the "ex tufa quarries, as well as an industrial area should be built by a sports center where you will find the location of Castelnuovo sports field, an indoor swimming-pool, gym and other sports facilities.

not have the money to do all this? I answer. Let us agree su cosa sarebbe bene fare in un ragionevole lasso di tempo. I soldi si troveranno.

GOBBO HIT THE MAYOR TO GIANT LUCCHESE



I Comuni a nord di Roma lungo la consolare Flaminia, da Sacrofano a Rignano Flaminio, passando per Riano, Castelnuovo di Porto e Morlupo, negli ultimi vent'anni sono stati investiti da una forte ondata migratoria, che ha portato molti romani a venire a vivere sulle dolci e verdi colline della zona, sospinti oltre che dall'amore per la campagna anche dai minori costi delle case rispetto a Roma.
Paesi che nel dopoguerra ospitavano 1500-2000 abitanti, oggi contano oltre 8000 residenti ed il trend di crescita non accenna a fermarsi.
Sono immaginabili le problematiche social and urban phenomenon of this magnitude that has generated and do not always (indeed, almost never!) local governments have been able to deal properly with tools (see plan) appropriate. The strong economic interests of landowners and builders clashed almost always prevail, with the needs of urban design that respond only to a shared vision of strategic development and harmonic territory, besides sustainable.
For this reason, the local political struggles and are found on the ground more confrontation on these issues.
The current political majority in Castelnuovo di Porto, led by Mayor Massimo Lucchese, is accused by the opposition di aver usato, in periodo elettorale, la Variante al piano regolatore generale come esca per fare pesca grossa fra gli elettori. Se è vero, dobbiamo dire che la cosa riuscì perfettamente, visto che vinse con oltre il 60% di voti !
Oltre a Lucchese, che in quanto a capacità istrionica di convinzione non è secondo a nessuno, chi si distinse nel promuovere fra i compaesani i vantaggi della Variante fu il gigante buono, che pazientemente, con l'immancabile mezzo toscano fra le labbra, ascoltava fino alla nausea i problemi e le aspettative dei compaesani. Infatti ad elezioni vinte, fu premiato dal sindaco, per il suo attivismo e per i voti raccolti, con la delega per l'assessorato all'urbanistica. Quando si dice l'uomo giusto al posto right!
course that version opens the way to much criticism, from the obvious lack of a vision of the strategic development of the country. In fact, we simply extend the existing wildfire in residential areas, emphasizing the original city that mistake over the years has made Castelnuovo an archipelago of residential areas, distant from each other and the old town, no one groped minimal action of "mending".
a variant that was to build the kindergarten and primary school far from any town, in the field, the stadium near the old town, the industrial area in the flooding of the Tiber without giving, however, answers to serious problems of urban village of Crooked Bridge, located on the Tiber, 10 km from the center of Castelnuovo, and with great growth prospects, given the proximity to the motorway building.
The problem is that all those who have been gratified by the Variation and have seen their agricultural land into building land, with all their economic benefits are likely to remain, so to speak, a dry mouth because so far, close the end of the term (the next spring there will be new elections!), the variant has not yet finished its bureaucracy and, therefore, is not ready to be sent to the region required for final approval. If by next December has not been sent, according to law, will expire irrevocably, being five years after its adoption.
The City Council had to discuss and vote on hundreds of comments to the variant "proposed by environmental organizations, political parties and citizens. There are still some "observations" to be submitted to the City Council and only after it has delivered its opinion on them, the version with all the "comments" discussion will be forwarded to the Region.
The gentle giant is on edge and we can understand. As we have seen has spent generously and now must give account of the political expectations that, unwittingly, had given rise to many villagers. But, incredibly, found an obstacle in its path: the mayor.
Already! Lucchese seems to have had second thoughts and no longer believe that the version adopted is the right solution for the problems of growth of Castelnuovo di Porto, even today considered to be completely inadequate for local development.
And the request to convene the City Council, made from gentle giant and four other commissioners to decide quickly on the latest "comments", said dry so as not to take the moral responsibility of this version is ready to resign and Therefore, to send home all the City Council! The Opposition asks
what the real motivation behind such a sudden conversion of the external auditor but his satisfaction in seeing undermined the variant that has always fought.
The mayor is the end of his second and last term and, probably, that this is going to make is the only act of his long rule of the country, which will be remembered in the future with special recognition from Castelnuovo. You will probably find comfort for his courageous decision in their studies of philosophy and, particularly, those on the ethics of responsibility of his beloved Weber. But the poor
gentle giant that can draw inspiration from philosopher to defend themselves from the wrath of the disappointed villagers? A Seneca?

Do You Plaster Cast A Fractured Metacarpal

GOOD FOR THAT TRAIN ............. ROME ..



The railway runs along the road on the left, keeping close to certain sections. Then he disappears from sight, hidden by a hill, which respectfully around and away in the countryside.
Now, here again, scroll down near the road but this time we find to our right.
Many of you will surely have recognized the Flaminia road and the local railway Roma-Viterbo, who joins for a good part of the route.
Sacramento, Riano, Castelnuovo di Porto, Morley, Magliano, Rignano Flaminio, are some of the stations whose names evoke the related countries. All countries in the last twenty years have seen a dramatic increase of the population. A great migration in which the protagonists were, for the most part, the inhabitants of Rome who were leaving the busy city center or outskirts unlivable Roman for a greener environment and a more human scale.
Of course, the work was still in Rome and was conscious of having to face a journey to the office, but it was said, the Flaminia road is smooth and then .... there's also the train you leads straight to the heart of Rome e. .. "A few years become a metropolitan area."
Year after year, the situation is changing more and more coming and always for the worse. Today, during rush hour, thousands of cars traveling through the Flaminia. The journey by car, reach the office, it has become unbearably long. Has anyone tried to ride a train, but will not speak! Few racing cars and uncomfortable and crowded!
Yes, because even though they are at least twenty years if they continue to talk, our railroad is not became underground if not only the stretch of city from Piazzale Flaminio to Prima Porta
Yet for those who live north of Rome in the area that revolves around the Flaminia, today, the railroad should be the obvious choice to get to work, university or high school in Rome.
Whether for economic reasons, both for environmental reasons.
The economic reasons we all live and they are aggravated by the day. Diesel fuel and gasoline reached the price that we know and go, today, in the office by car has become an unbearable expense for most of us.
Environmental reasons we remember them the "average" day in and other things as well. We hear about "ciodue emissions" at every turn. Our newspapers are full of articles about the Kyoto treaty and commitments, including our own government, to reduce these "emissions", with significant costs to be faced by the manufacturing industry and the community as a whole.
Personally I am not convinced that climate change involve the emission of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but since the vast majority of "opinion makers seem to believe it, I expect less media terrorism and more consistent decisions.
And then? We are lucky to be a railway ready-made, you could leave your car at home a few thousand people, you could eliminate the emission of exhaust gases of thousands of car (along with its carbon dioxide other compounds not exactly healthy!) might solve the problem of queues in the car on the Flaminia, could alleviate the traffic of Rome, during peak hours, eliminating a few thousand cars to the frantic search for parking (the mayor Alemanno take note !).
could all of this and our beloved directors, after more than twenty years, yet, the chatter?
For years there was talk of a railroad, which had been badly built: full of twists and, even worse, with only one track.
were required, they said, a big financial investment to double the track and adjust the path to make it suitable for fast trains from the path of a subway.
Today, new technology, called a "pendulum" to manufacture the trains, it can easily overcome the problems of location and operation of computerized traffic makes it possible to limit the need for double track only to stations where trains in opposite directions take turns.
And then? The double-track railway stations there already. I trains, a "pendulum", just buy the appropriate number. What's missing? It seems that the current electricity grid can not support the increased traffic of trains required and, therefore, should be strengthened.
Benedetti politicians, why, how many more years must we wait?

Side note . Along with the strengthening of the electricity grid will be good and just equip each station with a parking lot of exchange and ensure access, safety, train station, on both sides of the railway, pedestrian bridges or underpasses air. Infrastructure, today, are not always present and this is cause of further trouble for users.
