Kratos 2020, Strategic Plan Great Valley of Crati River

KRATOS is not a compact city (like Barcelona), but a compact management of resources (preventive approach), avoiding high environmental costs that are objected in the mature scientific debate about PS (Bertuglia et al. 2003). KRATOS is an early response to the phenomenon of De-urbanization (with phenomena of hourglass social structure) in relation to single city projections in the urban area of Cosenza. A way of solution for homogeneous redistribution of regular work, and trying to avoid the phenomenon of “haves not” (impossibility in having systems of communication in contemporary cities). Kratos can increase a gentrification (balanced) phenomenon in the historical centers depopulated orbiting the river Crati, and creation of valuable economic activities in the tertiary sector (very high cultural quality). Phenomenon driven by the growth of innovation in transport and communication (Detragiache 1995, 1998). Kratos does not debate on the urban environment but on the territory, as it declaims in the mature scientific debate of the PS (Tomazinis 1985, Bertuglia et al. 1998, Bertuglia et al. 2000), using the most correct supralocal scale (Peano et al. 2002). Kratos intersects urban factors and planning tools (Bertuglia 2002, Champion 2002, Davico et al. 2002, Guerois and Pumain 2002, Haag 2002, Peano et al. 2002). The PS Kratos is analogous to the PS ‘Area Nord of Milan and Piacenza (48 municipalities of the province involved) for reticular structuring between institutions (www.​asnm/​www/​futuro/​index.​HTML/​Kratos’ approach is similar to the strategic plan of Turin (Torino Internazionale), but don’t have a financial speculative approach, because it seeks its own “sincere” approach to the principles of sustainability (Cavallaro 2000).
