Airport expansions and regional planning: a participatory approach (Florence–Pisa)
Expanding airports means long‑term choices on accessibility, noise, land use and regional governance—the Florence–Pisa system is a telling case. We compare scenarios and suggest an inter‑municipal governance to decide on mitigations and benefit‑sharing. The guide helps evaluate alternatives with territorial coherence, robust evidence and time‑bound commitments. The guide details institutional and civic roles, evidence handling, tools to safeguard fairness and transparency, and how to translate outcomes into time‑bound, enforceable conditions. It includes examples, call and agenda templates, minutes models, operational checklists and quality indicators, plus guidance for clear communication, transparent timelines and the inclusion of vulnerable groups.
