of the cultural landscape and natural heritage of a given geographical space. 37 This awareness immediately brings the mind back to all those possible land regeneration solutions that far from lingering on continuous forms of land use, assuming they are possible, aim conversely to make available in precarious, even for the benefit of significant tourist flows, degraded areas and abandoned urban spaces,38 for example. It is precisely the framing of smart cities as a digital infrastructure that can offer the best contribution in the collection of timely data for the best and proper regulation of the territory in a distinctly regenerative and tourism-compliant perspective.39 The debate on the point implies, in essence, the possibility of addressing the instances of innovation and integration that concern the modes of use of buildings and spaces in an evolutionary perspective, envisaging a plurality of destinations attributable to the same area, with possibilities assessed discretionally by the public administration precisely thanks to the monitoring mechanisms and predictive analysis of geographical and territorial data actually available and interoperable, which from this point of view can certainly come in handy for a better territorial organization of tourism. In this way, a new idea of land use is developed, in which Administrations merge different factors, from land protection and promotion to land development, ensuring land use in accordance with its nature as a public resource, less and less buildable, but more and more demanding of proper governance: therefore, an integration between urban planning and land use planning becomes necessary. The close link between tourism and territory is analyzed not only from an economic or social perspective, since a centrality is certainly given to the legal profile. This means that that link between tourism and territory requires meeting two opposing needs: namely, the development of tourism as a resource capable of producing wealth and as the protection and preservation of the territory. It thus becomes clear that any action aimed at regulating tourism in a given place can only be accomplished by protecting the riches proper to that territory. 37 On this subject, read the ever-relevant P.M.
