A leap forward and a possible prospect. The "new" foundation of a "model city"
Abstract
The meeting between Modern Movement and Italian urban culture is, even today, an extraordinary place for reflection on urban space, its transformation and its possibilities, its beeing a "model city" (città dimostrativa). The modern city is above all an idea of the city. The proposed reflection regards the city as a field of refoundation in which it is essential to have a completely specific refounding principle for Italy on the international scene, which derives from the cultural context and the link between the project and the original dimension of the places.
