In large cities, the “homogeneous A” areas extend well beyond the historic centers.

In large cities, the “homogeneous A” areas extend well beyond the historic centers.

The simplification law decree and De Petris (Leu) amendment to article 10 want to protect, that is, armor, plaster, entire areas of Italian cities that have nothing to do with historical centers and valuable assets. Especially in big cities, the “homogeneous zones A” extend far beyond the historical belts. And the amendment 10.3 approved in the Senate goes even beyond these areas, defining more uncertain limits with “similar areas”, “consolidated historical nuclei”, “areas of particular historical and architectural value”.
So it is protected (injected) with a good national standard for many post-war buildings, substandard, ugly, of very poor quality, often not even safe, and in any case very energy inefficient. In Rome, so to speak, the “homogeneous zones A” also extend beyond the ring road, as far as Ostia. These days a joke was circulating in Roman political circles that was undoubtedly exaggerated but effective: “To tear down and rebuild a factory in Ostia you have to follow the same procedures as to tear down the Colosseum.”
Joking aside, it’s a bad sign coming from a government that had said it wanted to bet on a driven redevelopment of our cities in terms of energy and environmental sustainability. Perhaps with a great incentive to replace an asset,
public and private, degraded. Instead, the replacement of buildings, a lever for development throughout the world and in Europe, remains a taboo for Italy and for our cities: in this way, space is taken away from projects of radical regeneration and quality architecture grafts even contemporary (where we also have a gap from a plastered country).
No demolition and simplified and rapid reconstruction -with a Scia and not with a building license and opinion of the Superintendency as before- in areas and buildings (certainly not of value) like some of those seen in the photos published in this article . We are talking about areas adjacent to the center (viale delle Province) or very distant (Circonvallazione Casilina). But also in San Giovanni, do we have to defend everything there is?
