Urban environmental data
The survey collects environmental informations relating to the capital cities of the 110 Italian provinces. In addition to data collection for the reference year of the survey, the survey also allows the possibility of revising the statistical information collected in relation to previous years, in order to consolidate the time series already available (since 2000). The data collected also contributes to fuel the Environmental Monitoring on the cities, a database designed for the integrated management of statistical information relating to the main environmental issues in urban areas. The issues currently under investigation are: drinking water and water treatment, air quality, use of energy sources, collection and waste management, noise pollution, public transport, urban green, eco-friendly forms of planning, organization and management of local governments. Data and the statistical information derived from the survey, annually disclosed, represent an essential information tool to support the monitoring of the state of the urban environment and the activities undertaken by governments to ensure the good quality of the environment in cities.
