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"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aHistory of the urban environment. 606 $aUrbanization$xEnvironmental aspects$zItaly$xHistory 607 $aItaly$xEnvironmental conditions$xHistory 615 0$aUrbanization$xEnvironmental aspects$xHistory. 676 $a307.760945 700 $aPaolini$b Federico$f1972-$0139887 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812141603321 996 $aEnvironment and urbanization in modern Italy$94070007 997 $aUNINA
