7bn building sites at standstill, risk urban skeletons-ANCE

(ANSA) - ROME, JUN 18 - Some seven billion building sites in Italy are at a standstill with the risk of creating countless "urban skeletons", national building contractors group ANCA said Tuesday.
    "The biggest indictment of public squandering in recent years has been the 110% (green home improvement) Superbonus but only the negative aspects of a measure that in the two-year period 2021-2022 has allowed Italy to grow at a higher rate than China, (+12.3% GDP against their +11.3%) have been highlighted", said ANCE President Federica Brancaccio.
    Speaking at its the annual general meeting, she warned that "there are already 7 billion worth of stopped works that risk leaving urban skeletons".
    Brancaccio also said that "the (EU's) green home directive offers opportunities that we must grasp without fear". (ANSA).
