Abstract: Internationally, the concept of sustainability development (SD) has been of increasing relevance since the Brundtland report was published. The European Commission (EC) has published a variety of documents that encourage member states to adopt SD strategies. This article analyses fourteen voluntary contemporary strategic plans (SPs) of Italian local governments (LGs) published on-line, in order to verify if there is a sustainability development focus. Strategic planning is still in its initial stage. Nevertheless, the study concluded that the group of SPs analysed appears to be aligned with EC recommendations.
