STEP-LANDSCAPE AND ENVIRONMENT SCHOOL OF GOVERNMENT

The Urban Plan of the Autonomous Province of Trento promotes a new planning regulation, based on the connection among territory, landscape and development, with particular attention to the environment and to the quality of the territory and the landscape. 

Following the path established by the Institutional Reform for the government of the autonomy of Trentino, the Plan offers a different model of action of the Provincial Administration, which foresees the decentralization of the strategic decision making, privileging citizens’ and local communities’ participation and responsibility. The core idea is that the territory planning and management has to get into a more direct contact with the local requirements.

In fact, in implementation of the provincial act nr. 3 of June 16th 2006, the creation of an institutional level with the valley Communities has been foreseen, whose functions are programming and rationalize the management of the territory and the landscape. The Reform, also through the valley Communities, aims to enhance the autonomous initiative of the citizens, implement the subsidiarity principle among the different institutional levels, foster participation and integration of the single territories, develop interregional cooperation, ensure minimum levels of services for all citizens and development sustainability.

The challenges set by the institutional Reform and the Urban Plan impose a cultural improvement that identifies vocational training and education as crucial resources to accompany the change.

The Autonomous Province of Trento has therefore decided to create STEP-Landscape and environment school of government, inside tsm -Trentino School of Management.

The School is therefore an environment for the training and the development of culture and vocational competences for the implementation of the Reform for the management of autonomy in Trentino.
