Beschreibung
From the second half of the 1940s, when postwar reconstruction began in Italy, there were three notable driving forces of environmental change: the uncontrollable process of urban drift, fueled by considerable migratory flows from the countryside and southern regions toward the cities where large-scale productive activities were beginning to amass; unruly industrial development, which was tolerated since it was seen as the necessary tribute to be paid to progress and modernization; and mass consumption.
In his fourth book, Federico Paolini presents a series of essays ranging from the uses of natural resources, to environmental problems caused by means of transport, to issues concerning environmental politics and the dynamics of the environment movement. Paolini concludes the book with a forecast about the environmental problems that will emerge in the public debate of the twenty-first century.

Rezensionen / Stimmen
Paolini's book is the first in English to examine the relationship between modern Italian urbanization and the environment. * CHOICE * Federico Paolini's book examines a still little explored field: the environmental transformations in Italy since the postwar period, in particular in terms of interactions between urban and economic development, productive processes, motorization, and impacts on health and ecosystems. His is a new approach to the second postwar period of Italian history, opening recent research findings to a non-Italian speaking public, offering convincing interpretations of the described phenomena and making a significant volume of information and references available for further comparisons. -- Salvatore Adorno, University of CataniaWeitere Details
