The general plan in the Province of Milan: the situation after four years - It is four years since the approval of the new regional law in Lombardy on general plans and only a very small number of municipalities have approved final versions of their general plans: only around eighty of the one thousand five hundred municipalities in the whole of Lombardy have completed the procedures to draw up and approve general plans for their municipalities. The situation regarding municipalities in the Province of Milan, photographed in April 2009 is particularly interesting and significant. A survey found that 138 general plans out of a total of 189 municipalities in the province (73%) are currently being drawn up. 26 of the remaining 51 municipalities have already adopted general plans and are waiting for final approval and 25 municipalities have approved final versions of their plans.
