Presentation at the STATUS project workshop "Urban Planning - Large Scale Modeling" http://www.seecityplatform.net/workshop2014/

1. INSPIRE and Land Use
The need for real harmonised
data about urban plans
Piergiorgio
Cipriano

2. Is there any…
data about urban plans ?
… need for real harmonised

3. We need
interoperability
between spatial
plans at different
hierarchical levels
- VERTICAL -

4. We need interoperability between spatial plans
of different authorities and sectors
- HORIZONTAL -

7. Is there any…
data about urban plans ?
… need for real harmonised
Yes, definitely.
In Europe and even more in Italy !

8. This excerpt is from the Urban Plan of Torino (my borntown)

9. … while this screenshot is taken from the interactive urban map of Bologna

10. … in Regione Emilia-Romagna, where a data specification has been defined

11. … and where plans from different municipalities can be browsed online

12. The same functionalities are also available in Regione Lombardia …
http://www.cartografia.regione.lombardia.it/viewer20/index.jsp?configserviceurl=configmisurc.xml&srsWkid=32632#

13. … or Regione Sardegna, where the Regional Plan is available
http://webgis2.regione.sardegna.it/sardegnamappe_ppr/

14. In Piemonte, data are freely available as KML, to be browsed in GE …

15. … like in the case of Provincia di Roma
http://www.dati.gov.it/catalog/dataset/provincia-di-roma_mosaico-prg-piano-regolatore-generale

16. unfortunately…
… data are not harmonised
and there is a lot of mixture
at semantic level !

17. Have you ever heard about the INSPIRE Directive?
30%

18. INSPIRE lays down general rules to establish an
infrastructure for spatial information in Europe
INSPIRE define 34 spatial data themes in three annexes
ranging from cadastre parcels, to buildings, addresses,
hydrography, transport network, and … (planned) land use
The INSPIRE directive legally binds public institutions which
hold or own data related to the 34 spatial annex themes to
make their data accessible in accordance with the INSPIRE
specifications
If your data is related to INSPIRE, the Directive asks you to
publish it as view and download service for the purpose of
reuse, as well as to provide metadata for discovery
purposes

20. Do you know that INSPIRE defined Rules and
Technical Specifications for “Planned land use”
data?
10%

21. Member States shall ensure that all newly
collected and extensively restructured spatial
data sets and the corresponding spatial data
services are available in conformity with the
implementing rules […]
Spatial data sets shall be made available in
conformity with the implementing rules either
through the adaptation of existing spatial data
sets or through the transformation services
referred to point (d) of Article 11(1).

24. In the context of INSPIRE, sharing land use information
supports the requirements common in spatial planning.
The spatial plans established at the various levels of
administration need to be supported by other spatial plans
made by public authorities at different levels or even with
spatial plans across the border of a nation.
Different zoning elements across borders can have a great
influence on each other.

25. COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1253/2013
of 21 October 2013
amending Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010 implementing Directive 2007/2/EC as
regards interoperability of spatial data sets and services
(5) “planned land use” means spatial plans, defined by
spatial planning authorities, depicting the possible
utilization of the land in the future.

26. Land Use is itself split up into two different types:
1. The Existing Land Use (current land use in the above
definition), which objectively depicts the use and
functions of a territory as it has been and effectively still is
in real life.
2. The Planned Land Use or PLU (future planned land use in
the above definition), which corresponds to spatial
plans, defined by spatial planning authorities, depicting
the possible utilization of the land in the future. Planned
land use is regulated by spatial planning documents
elaborated at various levels of administration. Land Use
regulation over a geographical area is in general
composed of an overall strategic orientation, a textual
regulation and a cartographic representation.

27. Planned Land Use (PLU) is not requiring complexity.
Four spatial object types:
- Official document
- Spatial Plan
- Zoning element
- Supplementary regulation
One of the pillars is HILUCS
(Hierarchical INSPIRE Land Use Classification System)
Potentially 100,000 local governments (spatial plans)
to conform to INSPIRE “PLU” specifications:
- by 2015 all new datasets
- by 2020 all datasets

37. … ever heard about the NACE classification?
http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/ramon/nomenclatures/index.cfm?TargetUrl=LST_NOM_DTL&StrNom=NAC
E_REV2&StrLanguageCode=EN

38. So … what shall we do ?
Simple: Public Administrations shall* start working
on providing Planned Land Use data harmonised
to INSPIRE.
That means to “map” and “transform” their own
data into INSPIRE structured dataset.
Many software solutions already exist, both open
source and proprietary.
* INSPIRE Implementing Rules are legally binding
