Strategic and Systematic Planning Tools for the Preservation, Enhancement, and Regeneration of the Landscape of Arco, a Small Town in Trentino (Italy)

and scape reuse and regeneration are key issues for our cities, which are called upon to adopt sustainable development models capable of ensuring envi-ronmental protection and efficient use of resources, as well as a better quality of urban life. Urban regeneration requires different strategies from those of the past and therefore new operational tools to implement them. The new regeneration strate-gies require the coding and re-coding aspects of today’s landscape, where past, present and, in a sense, future are mixed. This paper aims to study the specific characteristics of Arco City, near Lake Garda in Italy, and to analyse the tools that have recently been used to define and manage strategic and systemic planning for landscape regeneration.
