Abstract

Rome 2008 Masterplan can be regarded as emblematic, due to the
complexity and the size of the territory, and, furthermore, because -in spite of the
absence of an updated national and regional regulatory framework- it has been a
model of anticipation, confluence and innovation of the main disciplinary elements
of urban planning of the last twenty years in Italy. This Masterplan is characterized
by a new structural conception of planning based on the principle of cooperative
planning, and it introduces the separation between structural components and
operational components, as well as other new disciplinary contents: environmental
sustainability, collective mobility and urban regeneration; with new implementation mechanisms focused on the principle of equidistribution, in order to guarantee the

equity of planning options and their effectiveness. A new planning model that has
been shaped within the Roman experience, which has been defined as a “laboratory
for the urban planning reform”.
