The approval, by the City council in 1962, of the Roman master plan was preceded by a very long debate on two conflicting hypotheses: the first outlining an eastward expansion, as defined by urban culture, the latter a southward one. This second hypothesis won because supported by Democrazia Cristiana, the ruling party in Rome during those years, that had the land rent as its referent. In this long story a new "intelligentsia" - consisting of planners, Liberals, Communists and first Italian environmental group - coagulated to support the first hypothesis, aided by a new investigative journalism.
