Nel comparto dell’edilizia, si assiste a un enorme dispendio di energie e risorse. Ciononostante, a fronte di una crescente sensibilizzazione ai problemi dell’ambiente globale, gli operatori di questo comparto hanno individuato anche la necessità di fornire qualche contributo volto ad attenuare concretamente le problematiche ambientali. In un simile contesto, è scaturita l’esigenza di sviluppare BREEAM.

In the vast majority of cities all over the world, urban growth takes place in peri-urban spaces. City models are in deep crisis facing the disappearance of differences between city and countryside. The urban sprawl of settlements in Italy, and also in Europe, is quite different from sprawl phenomenon and suburbs basically referring to American cities. Urban sprawl is characterized by one-family houses, dispersed in the countryside and by large industrial enclaves close to infrastructures networks. Italian situation can be interpreted as a peri-urban model instead of sprawl condition.
