Over twenty years after Directive 2001/42/EU, which has introduced the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) of Plans and Programs, and over fifteen years after its transposition into state legislation (Decree 152/2006), the contribution reflects the effectiveness of the tool to cope with the challenges of the contemporary city. The paper examines the experiences acquired by proposing innovative topics and things to consider improving the SEA’s ability to support the planning process. The article examines i) the territorial scale and the scope of influence of the plan; ii) the adoption of an ecosystem approach for ‘performance-based’ planning; iii) the monitoring phase for the formulation of resilient strategies; and iv) the collaboration-cooperation between public, private and citizens.
