the spaces of archaeology. themes for urban planning

For a long time, carelessness or renouncement have been the most common ways to afford the relationship between towns and archaeology, as it has been expressed in many master plans and urban design projects in Italy.

Looking for a new connection between archaological remains and urban transformations, it is fundamental trying to link different disciplines and actors to look at the archaeological sites from an integrated poit of view.

A new perspective is necessary, passing from perimeter to context.
In this new vision, urban plannig can represent a very important reference, on condition that different issues and tools can be articulated to redefine in a critical way both contemporary urban areas and the traces of their past.
