#ReimaginingUrbanism

#Re-imagining urbanism does not propose itself as a new totem-word or a mantra, mention of which is enough to deliver results. On the contrary, it requires a rigorous exercise of resolve, responsibility and skills based on good governance and advanced urbanism of the city – having to increasingly tackle both shrinking and metropolitanization – based on a new pentagram: vision, strategy, design, rules and community.A different thought and a chain of actions for the changing times, able to re-imagining urbanism, as well as regional and landscape planning too.

We shall go back to view the territory as a #productive resource and not just a space of consumption, drawing on the energies of the new participatory magma, merging the issues of young people, knowledge workers and economies of sustainability to produce a new territory that we must learn to explore, interpret, settle and design with the ability to deal with new forms of challenges – social, cultural, ethnic, ecological, functional and economic – generated and erupting in the cities.
