Abstract

The paper speaks about an experiment about the possibility to identify areas for transfer of development rights,with the aim of contain the soil consumption. The scope is to densify existing settlements. In order to apply a equalitarian rule, an analysis of a equal measure of urban sprawl in the nearest surroundings of a given settlement has been carried out with the application of smoothing techniques.

The application generated different levels of soil consumption, that suggests different densification degrees, than can be applied flexibly in various urban context.
