This report opens with an historical background, reconstructing the development of a mono-industrial town and the impacts of six decades of steelmaking. After explaining the methodological approach, the report unfolds the findings, a detailed analysis o f Taranto Plan, how principles of CE and environmental justice have been framed, the genesis, and its influences upon the transition debates in Taranto. In the discussion section the results, including the factor hindering and fostering a just transition i n Taranto are compared with other relevant studies.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
