We would like to present to you our work in the form of a new urban question: “Can the Territory be an alternative and/or complementary settlement model to the dynamic and fast environments developed in the world?”
While defining the forms of inhabiting the dense metropolis, the widespread cities, the large areas destined to intensive agriculture or those of mass tourism, “an embryonic alternative and/ or complementary settlement-landscape model” emerged, identified by the term Slow Territory or Slow Landscape, distinguishing itself to these more dynamic and fast environments, where the relation with time and landscape has a specific configuration.
From the analysis of these heterogeneous territories, the idea of a thesis project is born, wanting to explore the possibilities of regeneration of Slow Landscapes, that suffer from the competition with those more dynamic spaces we have mentioned. The project is concentrated in a territorial section between Peschiera del Garda and Mantova, along the Mincio river.
