Contents available in the Map section refer to three different disciplinary approaches. In particular historical maps address the topic of geographic and landscape representation drawing from Liberal Arts disciplines, while thematic maps (CGU webgis, 3D models) offer a set of specific tools for designers, architects, technical experts and policy-makers.
The aforementioned cartographic section is one of the main outputs carried out by the project “Osservare, valutare, progettare il paesaggio”, financed with founds from the law 77/2006. The project implied a teamwork of several public bodies ( Emilia Romagna Region, The Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism and the Province of Ferrara as chief coordinator ) and aimed at an in-depth examination and enhancement of all the landmarks defining the cultural landscape and at a precise risk analysis, especially regarding the impact of infrastructures and of hydrogeological instability.
All the maps on this website are available for free.
