General conclusion

Carthage is not only a Tunisian city, Carthage is a Mediterranean myth that deserves a better urban and architectural reality.

The richness of Carthage is not limited to the archaeological sites, but they concern the landscape richness which involves the unique topography, the plant palette and the connection with the sea.

Currently, Carthage no longer responds to the diffusion of the site’s memory due to the lack of attention given to the preservation of the context and the establishment of adequate equipments, and those that exist do not reflect the richness of the archaeological sites and harm its image and symbolic grandeur. In addition, the legislation on urban planning with the PAU culture does not take into account the territorial complexity. And let’s not forget the natural problems that menace the landscape, especially the phenomena of erosion that attacks the city’s beaches.

From a strategic and methodological point of view, the urban sections, the Territorio Struttura and the Macro ambienti insediativi, are considered as spatial and territorial instruments of perception that allow the urban planner to understand the territorial complexity of the studied context in order to propose good solutions.

From an operational point of view, the territorial complexity of Carthage requires projects born from the constraint of the current urban image to take into consideration the different layers of this palimpsest territory and which are based on an overall urban vision.
